An atheist group is running ads on two dozen New York City buses to raise "atheist pride'' among nonbelievers.
The 12-foot-long ads have a blue background and three-foot-high white letters that proclaim "You don't have to believe in god to be a moral or ethical person."
Members of the New York City Atheists will hold a Saturday press conference to discuss the ads at Manhattan's Columbus Circle.
Spokeswoman Jane Everhart says American society is increasingly accepting of atheists and says President Obama even mentioned "nonbelievers'' in his inaugural speech.
The ad campaign wants to reassure secretive nonbelievers that "it's OK to be an atheist''
The 30-day campaign was funded by an anonymous atheist.
Since atheism is a religion, wouldn’t this be “unconstitutional” since these are city busses?
But it sure helps.
The 12-foot-long ads have a blue background and three-foot-high white letters that proclaim “You don’t have to believe in god to be a moral or ethical person.”
Atheists; Pray there is no hell...
Atheism is a religion, like bald is a hair color.
So we have N Korea building nukes, inflation on the horizon, massive unemployment, taxes going through the roof and the big news is about gay marriage and atheist clubs?
What a country....
Themes for Atheist Pride?
“We believe in nothing!”
“Alive today, worm food tomorrow!”
“This is the best you’ll ever have!”
“You can’t take it with you!”
“Can I have your stereo when you die?”
“I am my own god, even though I’m unemployed and aging badly!”
“If I was 1% off I’d be a monkey’s uncle!”
“Proud to state with 100% certainty, there is no god!”
“Atheism: an ‘ism’ concerning eigths.”
Ahhh, yea you do.
No, you don’t.
The Golden Rule is older than the invention of religion.
Courts also found people like OJ, innocent...
Yeah. I don’t have much faith in our courts either. Especially the Federal courts. Lots of hot air. No substance.
Where is their pride?
Be careful, and always remember to never let your personal details fall here, especially from here-on. What you typed earlier could be used against you, in a contempt-of-court charge.
Well, you have to hand it to them, really. I mean, it takes an incredible amount of faith to assert with absolute conviction that there is no God.
Oh, by the way............/ sarc
I wouldn’t be surprised.
I sort of agree with that statement....In that Many muslims believe in GOD but still behead and kill innocent people...
Not at all. You can plainly see that someone is bald or not.
The assertion that there is no Judeo-Christian God, Allah, Hindu gods, or any supernatural beings of any kind is purely an act of faith, since there is no conclusive evidence of any sort to prove that these beings do not exist.
Richard Dawkins said it best when he stated that he's sure there is probably no God.
