'Atheist Ads' Going Up In New York Subways...

Starting Monday October 26th, a dozen ads will be going up in New York subways:

"A Million New Yorkers are Good Without God. Are You?"

Eight Atheist Organizations have come together to pay for the month long campaign. The New York Subways carry more than 5 million riders per day and the location was chosen to target the largest number of people possible.

The organizations representatives state that the ads are not in any way meant to be "anti-religious" but are meant to provide a way for people who feel the same way to know there are other people they can talk with.

In 1990, a survey that asked what religion people (in the U.S.) prefer had 8% of the respondents marking "none".

In 2009, the same survey had 15% responding "none".

Many people believe the fastest growing "religion" in the United States are people who claim "no religion".

The main point the organization is saying is (contrary to mainstream religion) people don't need "religion" to be "good" people...
