    Yes because "You have a choice" is a horrible, stupid message. We wouldn't want people knowing it's ok to think for themselves now, do we? Lol.

    What we all need is Christian Atheism and we could use the Quran to support our view.

    You don't think that churches should push their agenda publically, but that groups like American Atheists should post billboards like this in a highly religious area? Highly hypocritical if you think that.

    There's a difference in atheism and antitheism. I believe some here belong to the latter.

    Theres a difference between posting your message and spreading a hateful agenda. If by "agenda" you mean hate, bigotry, and ignorance, then yes, it shouldn't be public at all. "Anti-God=Terrorism" is ignorance and hate. Plain and simple. If that sounds like a Christian message to you, you might wanna re-evaluate your beliefs. Lol

    The future would be a lot brighter if we stopped living "under god"

    Both groups are posting poor messages in these examples - the difference is that one was targetting specific neighborhoods - but both are full of hate, bigotry, ignorance, and intolerance. Neither should be public.
    Yes, I agreed that "Anti-God=Terrorism" is ignorance and hate, as well as the billboards from American Atheists. If the billboard from American Atheists is an acceptable message to you, then you might want to re-evaluate your ability to logically think.

    Why not just look away. It's not like somebody is knocking at your door at 10 a.m..... wonder who it is?

    I am not a fan of solicitations - including those by religious groups. If you want to get them to stop, next time, tell them that you worship the devil.

    Why have I never had these crazy people follow or try to get me? I've had only a few people knock on my door, ever. None were Christians, usually Jehovah Witness or Mormons.

    You all complain too much, if they knock, say you're not interested but thank you. Simple as that. Or just don't even go to the door. I've NEVER seen anyone doing anything related to religion at any store, parking lot, etc. I've seen people preach things in say downtown Athens, but not trying to get you to join a church, typically some extremist saying everyone downtown is going to hell for some reason and Jesus is coming back tomorrow. lol

    If they start following you, call security or the police.
    The only people that should be at Wal-mart for solicitations is the Salvation Army - and they are not going to leave a pot with money in it to follow you into the parking lot.
    Since Walmart first came to GA, I have never seen a religious group standing around in front of it as Walmart policy does not allow that on their property.

    Wow. You really DON'T get it. You had me goin for a minute.

    And don't worry about my ability to logically think; Im an atheist, so I've pretty much got that down-packed.

    People all over the world are burdened by religion. They believe not because they want to believe, but because they are forced to believe, be it by their government, their family, or societal pressure. Those are the people that have stopped to question their religion and their belief system, but because of their environment, they can't tell anyone. It happens in America. The message is simple: "You don't have to believe, it's ok not to believe, there are many others that don't, and you have a choice". The message isn't "repent, you're a shitty human being, you're a terrorist if you don't believe, if your kids don't believe in god, they'll shoot you in the face with your own revolver". So no, the atheist message is not the poor example between the two.

    Actually, you don't get it. This is a car forum, and you don't see the "majority" starting threads bashing your lack of belief. You don't see threads started every month saying that you must repent or burn in hell. We see the same "minority" starting threads bashing religion on a daily/weekly basis on a car forum.
    We see this being mirrored outside of this forum as well. The majority of Americans do have faith in a religion, so you would expect there to be more people that promote their beliefs, than those with a lack of beliefs; however, we see more atheist based events attacking religion in the news. We see those groups like American Atheists specifically targeting religious neighborhoods.

    If you think that being an atheist makes you logical, then you cannot even fathom the concept of logic. Faith or lack thereof, is not the determination of logic or reason. That is a falacy that groups like American Atheist promote. You seem to have been taken in by their hatred and vitriolic message as well.

    It does not require trading of your soul. It requires determination, dedication, and practice.
