VERBATIM
American Atheists is an organization run by a gentleman named David Silverman.
Shocking, I know.
NEW YORK – American Atheists, the leading secular organization in the U.S., has launched its Christmas billboard campaign in New York City, urging people to abandon the Jesus Christ “myth.”
“Keep the merry! Dump the myth!” the billboard reads, which features a jolly image of Santa Clause above a solemn wooden figure of the crucified Christ. A press release shared with The Christian Post by Teresa MacBain, Public Relations Director at American Atheists, notes that the billboard is strategically placed at the popular Times Square tourist location.
“We know that a large population of ‘Christians’ are actually atheists who feel trapped in their family’s religion. If you know god is a myth, you do not have to lie and call yourself ‘Christian’ in order to have a festive holiday season. You can be merry without the myth, and indeed, you should,” said David Silverman, President of American Atheists.
American Atheists puts out a number of billboard campaigns every year, seeking to spread the message that non-believers are not alone and that people do not need religion.
During last year’s Christmas campaign, the secular organization released a billboard in New Jersey that compared Jesus to Satan, Santa Clause, and the Greek god Poseidon.
I have never understood how you could have such great hatred for something you claim doesn't exist. I do not hate Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny or athiests. To hate things that don't exist is a waste of time.
