Nice! I especially like the verbiage of this one. It really speaks from the definition of atheism, and speaks to "closeted" or unsure atheists. I'm not a big fan of the "be good for goodness' sake" one, or some of the other one's i've seen because they come across as too confrontational.

I've just been informed that a second billboard is in the works and will be up soon.
And you're right on target. These are intended to comfort people who feel out of place because they are skeptical of religion but afraid to say so for fear of retribution.

Go athiest movement.

Perhaps soon we will have the first ever athiest president of the United States.

You guys already do. You don't really think Obama is a Christian do you? I'm with Hitchens on this one; I reckon he should just announce it and get it over with.

He won't, certainly not until after possible second term election. And even if he is an atheist, it makes no difference the way he panders to the religious at the moment.

In America, athiesm is political suicide.

In America legitimate politics died long,long ago.

Some one asked Jesse Ventura how he went from wrasslin' to politics, and he said that they were the same thing...

And watch the GOP twist the Constitution into knots trying to impeach him for it? I guarantee they'd try.

I'm also of the opinion that Obama is an atheist, though.

It will be a long time(never?) before an open atheist is elected POTUS. Some polls have shown that people are less likely to trust atheists than homosexuals or muslims. Considering all the shit they hurl at those two groups, it's doubtful any politician will decide to advertise his non-belief.
