If they are really atheists, why do they care? And why do they care enough to invest in advertisements? I find that very strange.

Because they are not atheists, they are anti-theists.

In most cases, they are attention whores. I stress most. I know a couple of atheists that are not like that at all. Virtually all others I have met scream nonsense like this to either appear “smart and enlightened” or “shocking”.
They probably feel religion is being shoved at them and they are fighting back by pushing their own views on others. Admittedly some religions do prosletyze (sp?) and it’s up to people to say, “No thanks” if they don’t agree. But atheists should probably just keep it to themselves—they are in effect creating their own religion, their own prosletyzing.
But mostly it’s just “I hate people who shove religion at me” (their opinion) “so I’m shoving back”.
I don’t know if they’re going to work on Christmas Day, if they’re so offended...my own view btw is I tolerate any religion that spreads love, peace, tolerance, etc. but I draw the line at the extremists who use religion to
crash planes into buildings so they can meet Allah and
72 black-eyed virgins. The old “your right to swing a fist ends at my nose” saying. If you love your religion, great. If you love being an atheist, great, but don’t try to push it on me.
And if they don’t like the Christmas celebration they can
do their own thing and let us alone. We are a pluralistic
country and the freedom to believe, or not believe, is within each of us.
All religions proselytize. I suppose Atheism's adherents do to get others to share their wretched, meaningless lives.
Pray for them. It will do you good. It may do them some good. Any way, it will irritate them.I know, that's not a very Christian attitude. I'm working on that.
If God doesn’t exist, why be bothered if people believe in Him? That shouldn’t matter more than what you’ll have for dinner tonight. Yet atheists are bothered by the beliefs of people they dismiss as ridiculous. That is in itself a statement about them, not about the people they try so hard to get to join them.
President Bush said it well in his book “It is not possible to prove God exists, but that cannot be the standard for belief. After all, it is equally impossible to prove He doesn’t exist. In the end, whether you believe or don’t believe, your position is based on faith.”
The irony of Atheist is that they must have faith that God doesn’t exist because they have to use the word “believe” in order to say I don’t believe.
As for their willingness to offend everyone by shoving their views forcefully down someone’s throat, all the while crying that it is being done to them.....hypocrites will enjoy their time with me in Hell. At least I know I will. ::evil laugh::
