Get ready, America. This upcoming July 4 is about more than simply celebrating our nation’s founding. Apparently, it’s also an opportunity for Atheists to set the record straight about their patriotism.

Thus, on Monday, people in 27 states will have the opportunity to look up in the sky and see airplanes flying banners that proudly say “God-LESS America“ or ”Atheism is Patriotic.” The campaign, being organized by the New Jersey-based American Atheists, is sure to stoke the fires of controversy.

If they are fools enough to fly over Colorado, they’d better be out of weapons range.

“This America belongs to everyone.”

I wonder if he feels that way about Muslims. "Now boarding flight..."

Atheism..... Just one more way that God reminds us he is still here with us.

No god ?
Bad god ?
Fake god ?
Silly god ?
Great God ..?

He’s still God.

I’d like to thank the atheists for keeping God in the forefront of all our lives.

Stay Safe...

Yes, desiring to kill those of differing religious beliefs is just so along the lines of the Founders' vision for this country.

And San Antonio immigrant apologists are staging a “Day Without Immigrants” for July 4th. Y’know, ‘cause it’s all about ME, not about the nation. See my tag line.

So, how come the Atheists are allowed to impose their religion on others?

If it can be construed that the interstate commerce clause gives the government the right to regulate me NOT buying something, then their absence of religion embraced by the state is a violation of the First Amendment prohibition of the establishment of a religion.

Someone needs to remind these people that atheism is a religion too.

I was an avowed atheist for 20 years after my high school graduation.

I am not one now. Everybody has their own path to come to God, so I don’t begrudge atheists their beliefs. I just hope they eventually come to a deeper understanding.

But I do wish they would stop trying to use the law to force their belief on the rest of us.

Sleight of hand trick. Lumping legal immigrants with those are not.

I’ve been going to my neighborhood 4th of July celebration for almost 50 years. I’ve never seen any religious activity. So why this?

Just a little light humor ahead of the real fireworks. The Founders would have had them tarred and feathered. Sadly, one day they will know the Truth.

God-less America?

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.””

The unalienable rights of atheists also come from their Creator, whether they wish to acknowledge Him or not.

I’ll pay extra to have a banner trailing theirs saying, “Obama is a D*ck”.

I know, it’s got nothing to do with the original banner, but we may as well have something up there that actually has a bearing on the truth.

I guess it wouldn’t be very Christian-like to wish really bad things to happen to these people, so I won’t. But if something does...well, I won’t be too sad.
