Go Freedom From Religion Foundation. “Imagine no religion” billboards of a lovely stained-glass design have appeared in SF to remind people that there are other, more reasonable ways of living.
“We’re taking our liberating message of freedom from religious dogma in government to show solidarity with people who have now had a taste of the power of religion as a repressive force,” said Foundation Co-President Annie Laurie Gaylor.
These are the same atheist activists who are part of Michael Newdow’s latest lawsuit. They’re also responsible for the much-hated, by Bill O’Reilly, lol, Reason’s Greetings Winter Solstice campaign. “Christians don’t own the month of December”, after all.

The Freedom From Religion Foundation is suing George Bush, along with the governor of Wisconsin and a few other officials, over the shiny new federal law commanding that America will celebrate a National Day of Prayer on the first Thursday of May each year. This year’s proclamation asked God, not surprisingly, to bless America and commanded Americans to observe “appropriate” ceremonies and activities.
If the lawsuit fails, I invite the Freedom From Religion fellows to exercise their idea of appropriate Pray Day events. A visit to the National Day of Prayer Task Force website will get the creative juices (or bile) flowing.
