American Atheists make Christmas great again by skipping church. This is one of
their new billboards that they've come out with this year to encourage people
to skip church. To make Christmas great again. The group explained in a recent
press release that the billboards have been launched nationwide and aim to
celebrate an atheist Christmas and tackle what is called the stigma that
non-believers face in America. They said it is important for people to know
religion has nothing to do with being a good person and that being open and
honest about what you believe and don't believe is the best gift you can give
this holiday season. This was David Silverman, president of American Atheists.
More and more Americans are leaving religion but we still have work to do
when it comes to fighting the stigma many atheists face. The first billboard
depicts a text message exchange between two young women with one declaring that
she no longer believes in going to church and that her parents will get
over it. The group pointed to a survey released by the Public Religion Research
Institute in September which showed that nearly one in four or 39% of young
people aged 18 to 29 in the US are now religiously unaffiliated. Again showing
the spiritual decline in the United States of America. But I mean if atheists
simply don't believe in God, don't believe there's an afterlife or anything
why are they putting up such a big fight to prevent people from believing in God?
Seems kind of ironic to me. I mean wouldn't they just go about and have fun
have the best life they possibly can because you know when they die they're
gonna go in the dirt. It doesn't matter. But they're spending all this time to
try to convince people to be atheists. Makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
