'Believe in humanity, not God.' Trying to sell atheism as a religious belief. Everybody needs something to believe in. All this crap comes from the nederlands-atheism, forced socialism, communism, and they look at some really horrific stuff! People make deals with lucifer's office and get a 300 year pass to the inner worlds at different vibrations. Atheism or denial of a Source/Creator even with astounding creation around us goes with being one of the People of Power. -This anti-Christian crap is promoted at the atheist indoctrinating universities. I prefer being with the People of Heaven.
Call it a lack of Christmas cheer.
An organization that promotes the separation of church and state plans to deploy more than 50 billboards in the Sacramento, Calif. area to highlight atheists who are ignoring religion and the December holidays' spirituality, its co-president said Monday night.
The messages are part of the Madison, Wis.-based Freedom from Religion Foundation’s campaign to encourage non-believers to “come out of the closet” and be open about their atheism, Annie Laurie Gaylor told FoxNews.com.
But not everyone is ready to turn their back on religion during the holiday season.
“While I’m not happy about these billboards, I am certain people still, when they look deep down in their soul and in their heart, find a spark,” Bishop Jaime Soto, of Sacramento’s Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament, told KTXL-TV. “They believe in a higher power.”
Gaylor stressed that the campaign isn’t to insult Christmas or any other holiday, but to encourage people to simply ignore the religious undertones.
“The whole month of December is taken over in a celebration of the religious beliefs, in particular Christianity, and it’s just as if the whole month turns non-believers into outsiders,” she said.
The group sought out Sacramento-area members to share their points of view about being non-believers, and the response was so positive that the organization had to contract with a second billboard company to meet the demand, Gaylor said.
“I believe in people, not gods,” reads a testimonial from Liz Shoemaker, a Sacramento teacher, KTXL reported.
“Integrity and compassion require no gods,” say Matt and Kimberly Martin, a Sacramento couple.
The campaign, the costs of which Gaylor declined to disclose, is set to run through the holidays.
“We’re a free society, and it’s the free marketplace of ideas,” Gaylor said. “It should be debated publicly. What’s wrong with open debate?”

I always relate a story , when I lived in Arkansas , and my neighbor was bragging that his kid can quote anything from a bible and I can qoute anything from bible, talmud, quabala, koran, upanishads , the other bible, book of the dead and essene gospels. That shut him up.
excellent observation Avatar................I was gonna write that meself but you beat me to it.
I wonder why ~!~.maybe because those actually studied that book and it reeked BS for them or maybe they actually used their brains .
it's enetertaining to watch you and the other atheists preach, maniacally
Ashtar is an open forum for exploring and sharing our cosmic awakening. This includes respect without insults Pet Rock.
any move towards humanity uniting I will support. Religions divide people and especially evil and dark christianity selling "my god or highway" , thang...................
I have more faith in humanity than some entity we cant even prove it exists.
my point is the demon inspired person in the above photo is advertising, basically, atheism as a religion
That is one of the main problems with religion. Many religious people believe they can use demons to explain the behavior of people who do not think and act like They do. The next stage is burning people at the stake for being influenced by these "demons"/free thoughts, even though we all know it really has nothing to do with demons at all but everything to do with the desire to control peoples lives.
I don't know why Pet Rock choose to see demons in the ad above, but I do know that it has nothing to do with enlightenment.
I don't believe in the gods of religion or science. does that make me a demon too?
gotta love tech-does anyone else see the date atheist personals ad above? -on a spiritual site! insanity
