Actually, Hannity misrepresented what American Atheists are doing in order to propagate his persecution complex in Fox News' annual War on Christmas extravaganza, and Silverman did a terrible job defending his stance, not in small part because of Hannity's refusal to let his opponent get a full idea in. Hannity is the slimiest person on TV. If you watch his interviewing style, he never follows on an idea. If his opponent starts to say anything that might bely the point Hannity wants to promote, then it's non sequitur time, and on to something else completely unrelated.
American Atheists are putting up billboards that tell closeted atheists that there are more people like them than they think, and that it's okay to be you in public, you don't have to pretend anymore. The fact that the folks over at Bullshit Mountain get butthurt about it is an added bonus.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
