Atheists Promote ‘Skip Church’ Christmas Billboards in South

Post by bindeweede »

Cranford, NJ—Continuing its tradition of “firebrand-style” billboards at Christmastime, American Atheists launched a new campaign in Bible Belt cities, beginning Monday. The billboards feature a young girl writing a letter to Santa; her letter reads, “Dear Santa, All I want for Christmas is to skip church! I’m too old for fairy tales.”

Santa Claus is the real deal, not like that Jesus character.

Note for Non-USAians: South (New) Jersey isn't "the South".
Yes, that one.

Hi AA. My knowledge of US geography isn't great, but I know that - just over the water from NYC.

But does it matter that they are based in NJ? Their posters are going "down south".

That's still the Northern Hemisphere. "Down south" would be South America . . .

Geography aside, it's still brilliant if not inflammatory. And I, for one, like that. :-)

Me too.

While we're at it here's a comic about the dangers of Santa Claus (and the Tooth Fairy). :-P
