Australian Atheists: Stand Up and be Counted!

I spotted an article about a new atheist campaign in Australia calling on Australian citizens to "come out" with their non-belief. This is a fabulous idea, one that we Americans should emulate:

The Atheist Foundation of Australia has begun a campaign calling on those whose faith has lapsed to mark ''no religion'' on their census forms this year - with West Pennant Hills slated to host a billboard before August 9.

The 8.3 metre by 2.2 metre sign on Pennant Hills Road and another in Armidale will make a month-long appearance from June 20. Despite the location, the foundation's president, David Nicholls, said the campaign did not intend to attack religion, but to counter the extent to which Australia was unduly claimed as a Christian country in decision-making and funding.

One of my more popular blogs (I still get emails about it several years later) was my Atheists, Get Out of the Damned Closet!, in which I encouraged atheists, a large percentage of whom were blogging anonymously, to declare themselves publicly.

Well, it's time for the American public to do the same. I think a campaign here in America

I found GOD in Las Vegas! Now I'm confused – what happens in Las Vegas, stays in Las Vegas?

The Jesus Truck

There was a photo contest for religion billboards – here's my contribution. This one moves! I'm sure dozens of drivers have seen this and been instantly reformed and converted.

Seriously, do Christians really think a message like this, plastered on the back of a truck, will make any difference to anyone? IMHO, this is nothing more than egotism on the trucker's part: "Look, I'm holier than you! I'm the best Christian of all!"
