Athiest ads on NYC subways (churches, atheist, gospel, quote)

Atheist ads to adorn New York subway stations - CNN.com

I like the low key question. It will let Atheist know they are not alone, and make many think about their own views.

I would like non-atheists to learn to spell "atheist" correctly.

My favorite is still the Indiana Bus Ads that said "You can be good without God" and were all pink and yellow. They seemed so bright and cheerful.

Several "atheist organizations" are paying for this... the "Coalition of Reason", seems to be Atheism's answer to the "Christian Coalition". Atheists are organizing their religion more and more. They even have denominations, apparently.

They seem to really like proselytizing, I guess it's important enough to them to spread the gospel of Atheism™ that they are willing to spend lots of money, time, and resources on it.

I wonder why they don't feed the poor and house the homeless of NYC with that money???

Christians and Churches have soup kitchens, missions, homeless shelters, etc. Where is the Coalition of Reason's morality and humanitarian work? Oh yeah, they go with what's important to them, proselytize people into the Atheist religion instead of feeding them.

No it won't.

How are atheists and Psalm 14:1 connected?

You know very well that it's not a religion.

It's not proselytizing. It's making everyone aware that we're out here if they feel like they're the only ones. And let me tell you, growing up as an atheist in a family of fundies...I felt really alone. I would have liked to see an advertisement like this, telling me that I wasn't crazy.

Google "atheist charities" for pete's sake. Also, perhaps some of us don't believe in giving handouts, but believe that we should give assistance to those people who actually put down the begging cup, get off their ass, and try to work to improve themselves.

Christians and Churches have soup kitchens, missions, homeless shelters, etc. Where is the Coalition of Reason's morality and humanitarian work? Oh yeah, they go with what's important to them, proselytize people into the Atheist religion instead of feeding them.

Yeah, and what have those organizations done to eliminate the problem of homelessness, hmmm? If you keep feeding them and not pushing them to make something of themselves, it's NOT SOLVING THE ISSUE. You're just slapping a band-aid on a sucking chest wound.
