It is a simple "Don't believe in God? Join the club". Here's a link:

Many, many believers in the community spoke out about how offensive (?!) this was. A Christian billboard stating that "Homosexuality is an abomination" and "Abortion is murder" was taken down a while ago, and many are upset that the atheist billboard is allowed when theirs was taken down.

I've mostly been keeping up with posts on facebook, if you're interested.

It's been great to feel like I've had a voice, especially when there are others in the community who see things the same way I do!
