"Are you good without God? Millions are" is the message on 10 new billboards in the Sacramento, CA area. The billboards, which are part of a nationwide campaign that began last year, were put up by the Sacramento Area Coalition of Reason. It's an umbrella organization for a variety of groups including the First Atheist Church of True Science, Humanist Association of the Greater Sacramento Area, Sacramento Area Skeptics, and Atheists and Other Freethinkers.
Sponsors of the "good without God" billboards say it's not an attack on theism but, instead, a message directed to their own community.
"It's a way of reaching out to people," said Fred Edwords, national director of United Coalition of Reason (quoted in the Sacramento Bee). "Many folks who think like us think they are the only ones." "We non-theists are your family members, friends, neighbors and co-workers," said Rachael Harrington, coordinator of the Sacramento group, in a news release. "We're just like you, except we don't believe in a supreme being. It's about time we were equally free to be open about our views."
...and professing themselves wise,they became fools..Bible
yes he does...
Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God.” (I CORINTHIANS 6:9-11).
It's actually funny on several levels - here we have what must be a multi-million-dollar advertising campaign exhorting the viewer not to believe in something. I can't think of a better way to waste money. Whatever.
“The fool hath said in his heart ‘There is no God’. “.
Replace "atheist" with "christian" and you definitely got it. It seems to be the rare Christian who doesn't have a need to constantly broadcast his faith.

That “rare” one you run into that doesn’t proclaim his faith doesn’t understand it very well.
If you don’t believe in God, no problem. I don’t understand why it would bother you to hear people talking about it.
Yes, and leave us to decide what is Good and Evil.
All this time and the serpent’s message hasn’t changed.
It is certainly possible for a person to not believe in God and still behave in a “good” manner, but its sort of like obeying traffic laws but denying that the laws exist.
Except for the likes of Nietzsche, Athiests are walking contradictions.
LOL!
I had it right the first time, but thanks. :)
Misery loves company?
I’ve never known Lucifer to be that obvious.
If there is a God then we have one choice: Serve Heaven or serve hell. There is no middle position
What was the one phrase you were most likely to hear from anyone witnessing the collapse of the towers on 9/11? Answer: "Oh my God!"
And the second most common phrase, albeit profane, also recognized the existence of the sacred: "Holy $#!t!"
Right before they die; they will think differently.
It takes more faith to believe there is no God then it does to believe there is.
Just hope they don’t end up in a foxhole.
Who is stopping them?
