OPINION: FFRF Gives Alabama Its First Ever Atheist Billboard
right idea, wrong implementation
I'm glad that they are doing this, and I'm not overly concerned about angering religious people - If someone is so unreasonable as to get steaming mad over something like this, then I'm glad that other people can see them behave this way. In any case, a timid campaign would be ignored - too much caution would make this an enormous waste of money .
However, I don't like the stained glass background - all I can think of when I see this is " Imagine no religion - we'd have no more stained glass windows or gorgeous, over the top architecture as sponsored by the coffers of churches throughout the ages?" The history of art is far too tied up with the history of religion for me to see this particular implementation of ' No religion' as a positive one. Religion is responsible for worse things than sponsoring craftsmen to put coloured glass between pieces of lead in a window.
