Goosing the Antithesis: The Reason For The Protest
Up until now, it seems the atheist community has done a decent job of getting messages out in public in a way that will do some real good. I’ve seen several billboards and bus signs that do a good job of letting other non-theists know they are not alone. Not a great job, but a good job.
Then comes along this from the Freedom From Religion Foundation.
Let me start by saying I’m an atheist, separation of church and state is critical, and I agree this sign is telling the truth to the best of our ability as a human species about the topic.
At the same time, putting this particular sign and message up next to religious displays like a nativity scene was just stupid.
This is a simply wonderful short movie from Brian Dunning about critical thinking. This is a must watch video for anyone who cares about living according to the best information we have instead of fantasies and unsupported beliefs.
