Kind of like poking a stick at a beehive. Nice to see the atheists reaching out to somebody other than Christians with their know-it-all approach, though.

PATERSON – An atheist group’s billboard aimed at the city’s Muslim community went up on the corner of Broadway and 33rd Street today.


TARIQ ZEHAWI / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

This billboard, which reads, 'You know it's a myth ... and you have a choice,' in English and Arabic, went up Wednesday, March 7, 2012, on the corner of Broadway and 33rd Street in Paterson.

The sign, in both Arabic and English, reads "You know it's a myth ... and you have a choice," a fairly subtle rebuke of the Muslim faith. The billboard is part of a campaign by American Atheists to spread its anti-religious message to faith communities other than Christians. A similar sign in Hebrew and English was to be put up in a Jewish section of Brooklyn.

The Paterson sign, which costs the organization $15,000 to erect, is aimed at nonbelievers who they say have been coerced into Islam. A leader at the nearby Islamic Center of Passaic County last week said he no one is forced to be Muslim, but that he doesn’t regard the sign as an attack on Islam because it doesn’t denigrate holy figures.

I'm glad to see they have the balls to do this. I'd like to see them say something about Allah or the Koran though being a fairy tale and see what happens. They would never, they can only imply it I guess otherwise they could get blown up because Islam is, after all, the religion of peace.
 
I think a few atheist bodies will turn up floating in a river- and that'll be the end of that.
 
Their efforts to help people escape mind-controlling cults should be applauded, as they are Real Americans promoting liberty and freedom for all.

As for wacky, how about torturing and murdering your own children as a religion?

A Carlton, Wash., couple have entered not guilty pleas to second-degree murder charges in the 2009 death of their teenage son, who died despite family members' efforts to heal him through prayer.
The Wenatchee World reports ( http://is.gd/Ilb05U) that 48-year-old Gregory Swezey and 46-year-old Garnet Swezey were released without bail Monday after hearing the charges against them. Trial is set for May 1 in the death of their 17-year-old son, Zachary.
Okanogan County Superior Court charging documents say the couple belong to the Church of the First Born, which believes in faith healing. The boy died of a ruptured appendix on March 18, 2009, after falling ill several days earlier. His parents told investigators they thought he had the flu.
The couple's lawyers entered the pleas on their behalf.
Prosecutor Karl Sloan has said faith is not a reason for failing to seek medical attention for your children

That's a really sad story. Too bad I'm not a part of any religion, be it Islam, Christianity, or Atheism. ;)
 
Yes. Its great that they spend their time promoting liberty by telling people what to think and believe, often using inflammatory billboards strategically placed where it would piss off the most number of people just living their life.

I see nothing inflamatory, nor telling anyone what to think.

That's because you're not a Muslim. Most rational people will laugh this off as some atheistism zealots pushing their religion on people.

I think it's hilarious, yet misguided.

Fox News attempted to use Pat Tillman for their gain. According to to Ann Coulter Pat was an avid Republican and God fearing Christian.
