Well? What Myths DO you see?

American Atheists is once again posting seasonal billboards, this time in Florida, Ohio and for a second year in a row at the New Jersey side of the Lincoln Tunnel!

The billboards are the next stage of the "You KNOW it's a MYTH" campaign we started last year. This year we are placing myths on the billboard and asking people what they see? The purpose is to encourage people to ask themselves why one god is different from gods they call myths. It's up to them to answer -- 

We are asking.

There is no effort here to convert theists into atheists, but there IS an attempt to get the church pew atheists to consider what they are doing. If they look at our billboard and see four myths, including Jesus, then why are they going to church and donating money? Why are they going through this ridiculous motion of pretending to believe in a myth, just to please other people?

Some atheists don't even know they are atheists, while others are fully aware but remain closeted. This is why we ask all church-goers to consider honestly their theological beliefs this season and ask if and why they are pretending to believe the unbelievable. It is our hope that these atheists will come out of the closet, come clean to their friends and families and start living an honest life of reason and rationality.

Many atheists celebrate some version of Christmas! There is nothing wrong with gifts, trees, singing and (most of all) family togetherness. None of this requires the pretense of a belief in a god. We believe the season should include honesty -- with oneself and loved ones.

Happy Holidays!

Love,
American Atheists
