'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?”

More propaganda from the desperate cabal to stop people thinking there is a God. I believe in God but do not believe in religion.
Book recommendation: "Not in His Image, Gnostic Vision, Sacred Ecology, and the Future of Belief", by John Lamb Lash. I share in the history recounted in this book and the expose' of the truth regarding the so-called "religion" called christianity and its related brethren. Christianity is most certainly, in my opinion, a virulent mental illness of incredible destructive capability. A post like this is exhibit "A" of its power over millions of minds. Fortunately, the truth of christianity's inherently offensive nature is becomming more and more difficult to justify and/or deny. Thank you very much, you are welcome.
sorry feather but that is one ugly dog
Organized religions have done a lot of good when not hijacked by jihadists and governments for financial gain-groups of people when working together can use positive prayer/will force to move light against others who would allow demonic forces to permeate this 3d-many people are used by these demonic forces and don't even know it, including quite a few at this site-it's sad-example; if you believe in Edgar Cayce's 'channeling' then hear this ye puppets of Destruction!-hunter gatherers along the Nile were slowy encroached upon by Atlanteans who started to leave Atlantis before the 1st cataclysm and brought there knowledge and tech with them and their religious tenets of One God and of course received the higher vibes from the Masters of Light to create a new society. Well in time you guys, Destruction, began to show up-People of Power. Not wanting to live out in the waste lands but wanting to live in the organized civilization began filtering in especially after the 1st Atlantis cataclysm. Of course being denyers of the One God they used the same method 'they' use today-demoralize the society and gain political, social ground and throw out the 'religious fools' who had 'so much' -same old same old. You'll note that Egypt devolved into two kingdoms-those of the the Red kingdom that denied the One God,you guys, and the White kingdom those who lived by the Laws of the One God, us guys. Can't play the race card here, most Egyptians weren't white, probably none of them.
I have always believed Christianity to be a form of Mental Cancer that people can catch.
Fortunely, it's not incurable :)
It's not specifically anti-Christian, and it's freedom of speech. Religion is tearing the world apart and is keeping humanity from prospering.
.......to each their own, captured this post..........K.
That's one of the cutest things I've ever seen :)
