  • I love how this news channel explicitly says "yes, that's it. the ONLY reason they were put up is to offend people. "

  • Well, the ads were never meant to be ''anti-religion'', they were meant to be ''pro-reason'', so by all these conservatives using that argument, they are just proving themselves wrong.

  • @clubpenguinsux1 As a Agnostic. I rather have Sign that are "Pro-Common Sense". Which most Atheist/Anti-Theist have none.

  • @Tuber77 That is what I meant by ''pro-reason''. I meant simply supporting common sense. And what do you actually mean when you say that atheists do not have common sense?

  • War? Well, so much for "peaceful" christianity. What the atheists are really trying to do with actions like this, according to David Silverman, is to draw out closeted atheists and get them to speak up for themselves. There are a lot more of us out there than we sometimes think.

  • Criticizing science is taboo according to the arrogant attitude of atheists. Fortunately, I have something in store for them. We will not take their nasty billboards and technocratic evangelizing laying down.

  • 0:11

    These are ads I can get behind.

    They dont attack other beliefs as "Myth" but make the point that non religious americans have a voice!

    The TV ads by the Humanists group wasnt bad... kinda.

    It attacked an old piece of the bible, pointing out injustices in the text, that no one except lunatics follow anymore.

    Not a friendly ad but really isant anything more than a jab.

    Non-religious Americans shouldnt be afraid because they arent going to be persecuted. Nobody cares about atheists.

  • What a low grade piece of biased journalism, they should be ashamed.

  • @Yaarrr Why?... Because they reported it?

    They gave both sides of the story in the breif time they had.

  • I really have no problem with atheists advertising, they have a right under the free speech clause. What I am confused about is, they say they are not a religion, then why do they spend so much money prosylatizing through advertising.

  • @logicnreason1 If religion is defined as a group spending money to spread an idea then the use of the word is obsolete and we might just as well define a new word: Relifaith: Defined as faith in a supernatural being or other supernatural entities or forces. Fortunately, the later is religion, it has nothing to do with spending money, so we won't need this new word.

  • Christian billboards are just as offensive, or more offensive, than these atheist ones. That old lady has it right: shrug it off if you don't agree.

    I can't even count the amount of times Christians have referred to non-believers as though they were lesser human beings.

    At least Atheists believe in equality!

    There are way too many misconceptions about atheism when in reality (for the most part, can't speak for everyone) we aren't scary people, we can be quite decent and friendly.

  • I can't stand religious people getting offended over little things when all they say to us is "you have no morals, and are going to hell." I find that a bit more offensive than these add campaigns.

  • 2:39 You know it's real pfffffft hahahaha

  • Seriously, do these people realize that they live in a free society and free speech. Man, religions are such assholes.

  • Is it really that hard to find someone in the news who really knows when Jesus was born?

    Yes

  • I don't know why the christians say it's "their" season. They stole it from the pagan seasonal celebrations because they didn't have any of their own, just like they accuse atheists of doing now.

  • fuk the satanic us

  • We atheists don't have to sit idle, and not say what we think. Just as believers don't.

    I believe that if humans are around long enough, religion will generally fade away.

  • That guy appearing at the end doesn't know anything...

    Christmas being "their" season?

    It's a pagan season and has always been for thousands of years before the "birth" of Jesus.

    I'll bet he puts up a christmas tree (PAGAN), puts up a mistletoe (PAGAN) or sings carolls with his children (PAGAN).

  • I encourage all self described Evolutionists, Atheists, Agnostic, Satanists, Buddhists and Luciferians to participate in the facebook group, Lucifer's Constellatory Vanguard.

    No Deities, Devils, Ghouls, Ghosts, Spirits, or self deceit...

    Just knowledge, light, and understanding...

    The staunch propagation of Anti-theistic understanding is paramount at this time in human history!

  • how is this any diffrent from the thousands of faith based signs, advertisements, and churches trying to convert people to religion? atheists are just doing what religious people do.

    downside: atheism is becoming more like religion

  • lol @ Bill Donohue.  He has no idea.

  • Jesus is the reason for Christmas. Duh!! Why are atheists are so angry they have their holiday. Remember April Fools Day.

  • @1954phyllis "Jesus is the reason for Christmas. Duh!! Why are atheists are so angry they have their holiday. Remember April Fools Day."

    Arrogance. If you don't believe what I do, I'm better than you. This is so simple. You must really be a thick individual.

  • @1954phyllis Oh please. Most Americans are Talking Jesus, Walking Santa. They celebrate Christmas for the presents, not Jesus's birthday. Less than 40% of Americans go to church during the Holidays. Less than 15% of Americans can list the 10 Commandments. We're a capitalistic society. It's all about money and power.

  • @SuperBlackChic You are absolute right.

  • Jesus is the reason for Christmas. Duh!!1

  • What??? Quoting bible we promoting Atheism??? Odd.

  • Is this guy saying "avi-ists"?

  • I guess that's what happens when u can no longer burn libraries oppress science and burn heretics

  • @jjason55740

    Oh, believe me, they would if they could; can't you just see Pat Robertson presiding over the Great National Burn a Heathen Day? I sure can.

  • Yeah, humble, peaceful christians, always ready to start a WAR with anybody who doesn't think like they do...

  • I hate how the media always states how much money is being spent on the Atheist billboards. As if all the money that churches extort from their congregation goes to helping the poor and not to fund the relocation of Pedo-priests, the lobbying of congress, the printing of creationist text books, or the security costs of the Pope. Fuck the religious hypocrites. Just because you are ingnorant to the reality of the world, doesn't give you the right to spred that ignorance. We WILL stand against it.

  • The religious are angry at us because their arguments are so feeble. Belief in the supernatural can't exist in the face of the scientific evidence. They HAVE to squelch any dissent, because if people came to reason, they would lose their grip on our minds, and ultimately, our money.

    It also appears that the myths need to be propagated to ensure that they won't seem foolish. It's the old "Safety in numbers." If 85% of the public believes, then it must be true, right?

  • @Impalamark64 Atheists really like worshipping their god stupidity.

  • Wow atheist rock!

  • Wow athei

  • what about the christian billboards which remain up all year. ill quote from 2 right now.

    "Why do atheists hate america?"

    "Anti god is Anti America, Anti America is Treason, Traitors lead to Civil War."

    we want people to admit to who they really are and WE are the bad people? im so angry, i should swear.

    oh wait, i cant because christians have made those words so taboo that saying them can reduce people to tears.

    grow up, america.

  • Comment removed

  • Christmas is a secular holiday and has been for along time

  • About time we had our say. Atheists have had years of being critised I am out of clossett.

    Peace on earth when religion ceases for good.

  • Just put up one anti islam billboard or sign on a bus and i will believe your serious but until then you look like a bunch of pussies to me . 

  • To all the people who are saying "it's in the bible" or "you have to read the bible": I recommend you read ,and base your life on, more than one old book.

  • Comment removed

  • @RACISTASSHOLE

    Angles exist, otherwise you are correct.

  • @Halestorm53 Angles exist, Angels don't.

  • @Halestorm53 LOL! "Angles exist"

    .....so do "Slopes"

  • If you ever meet one of these "atheists" ask where the jew or muslim billbords are and they will squirm like any religious group confronted with the facts .

  • @hanksnow82 christians don´t deny a job to muslims or jews,plus the three of them agreed on certain things like abortion,homosexuality...creat­ionism xD

  • Their season? LOL Its more our season as its based on scientifically sound astronomical phenomena. That is, approximately the winter solstice. When the sun begins its return "path" back the high point in the sky and enjoyable warm lazy days to grow your crops and your gut are on the horizon. Not to mention even the decor is largely related to solstice celebrations as well. They don't even know when jesus was born if at all. Just a bunch of pagan-wannabes.

  • @daeamarth I believe in the first real attempt to see when this "jesus" was actually born, using the position of jupiter in the sky or something to determine the date, they found out it was actually in april

  • This is not about religion it is the i am chicken shit about the JEWS and the muslims Of all the scum bag groups since 9/11 this is the biggest dirt bags and all people should speak up about this BS

  • Religion was invented to bring order to nature to a species that formed abstract thought and applied thoughts to patterns in nature.

    It was our first attempt at science.

    Now we know that there is no god, that we are evolved animals, that we are no more divine than a worm, why can't we set aside the ancient unmovable philosophies and actually work together in true peace and harmony?

    As long as the arrogance of faith exists, we will always live under the umbrella of oppressed thought

  • @therigityride Well said.

  • Atheists are cowards where are your JEW and your MUSLIM billboards As a atheist i shun these cowards

  • Well, i still think that even if you are atheist or another religion, you should read the Bible. No matter what religion, it has rules that every human should live by; be kind to others, respect your fellow man, be true to your wife, dont steal, etc. Not only does this get you far in life, it can keep you from getting your ass kicked. Just sayin.

    The God story just kinda comes along with it.

  • @MrChrisMan001 It also says stone the woman who's not a virgin by their wedding night.

  • @MrChrisMan001 Actually it says that women are possessions, owning slaves is OK, naughty kids should be murdered and if a girl is raped, it is her fault. I have read the Bible. That's how I stopped being Christian. There are far more enlightened philosophies to live by, you just won't hear of them in church.

  • Awww did we hurt your feelings? Well guess what, the more you bitch and moan about atheists using their first amendment rights the more attention we get. either way atheists win.

  • "Anti-religion ads anger christians"

    Awww poor babies

  • @bailesie It seems to me that the only babies are around are the aheists. America has been celebrating Jesus' birth ever since it became a nation. If you cry babies don't like move to a communist country and stop ruining America.

  • @bailesie It seems to me that the only babies are around are the aheists. America has been celebrating Jesus' birth ever since it became a nation. If you cry babies don't likeit move to a communist country and stop ruining America.

  • @1954phyllis "It seems to me that the only babies are around are the aheists. America has been celebrating Jesus' birth ever since it became a nation. If you cry babies don't likeit move to a communist country and stop ruining America."

    This is pure arrogance. You're just too myopic and self important to understand your own out of control ego. You have no humility or humanity.

  • @ProjectDecade Your excuses were lame to say the lest and they sure don't apply to America . As i explained there are 7 million muslims here and we now have 2 muslim congressmen making laws here . The day you put up a billboard mocking islam i will take you seriously right now you just look like a bunch of cowards that like to take cheap shots at Christians . I am an Atheist but i don't want to be associated with a bunch of chicken shits like you .

  • Merry Christmas to all

  • @HerculesRockefellerr Happy Yule

  • Jesus said give all that you have to the poor and fallow him, then he said to love your enemy, He also said to judge not lest ye be judged, I almost forgot he also said that if you are struck on one cheek to offer the other. It’s a tall order folks but if you call your self a Christian I wish you would do what Jesus told you to do.

  • This is retarded, FREEDOM OF RELIGION!!!

    Who Cares what others believe?!?!? Does it really affect you?

    Shut up Christians

    Shut up Muslims

    Shut up Jews

    And now, Shut up Atheists.

  • @cgord31 Atheism is a religion? lolwut?

  • @cgord31 If atheism is a religion than not collecting stamps is a hobby.

  • @cgord31 SHUT UP CANADIAN!!!!!!!

  • @mueygringo You got serious mental issues Gringo

  • @cgord31 Whatever you say canadian

  • @mueygringo Thank you, I do live in the greatest country in the world, appreciate you noticing.

  • @cgord31 If you like living in a Freezer 7 months out of the year and your security is dependant on your neighbors to the south. You are welcome! Hows it goin eh!

  • @ProjectDecade yes let´s celebrate that the sun is returning

    happy Solstice!!!

  • I hate how news casters are, themselves, so biased...

  • Fuck all religions.

  • "Our season" I wasn't aware that Winter was a Christian season. News to me. What's next they start claiming specific months as their own?

  • LOL "Millions of people feel the same way" ? Good luck with "THAT" self delusion ! Snicker guffaw

  • OH NOES PEOPLE BELIEVE DIFFERENTLY THAN ME! It's a personal attack!

    ..imagine if atheists reacted this way to the countless pro-religion and frequently acerbic anti-atheist billboards and ads. These are tame by comparison.. and yet they deserve a fear mongering news story? :/

  • I'm a Non-Believer But I Like Presents!

  • @ProjectDecade I agree with you for the most part but until i see the atheists put up a billboard mocking or at least critisizing Islam i will think their real agenda is attacking christianity .

  • @hanksnow82 They're not putting up billboards in the middle east are they.

  • @BoxRoomStudio According to the Council on Islamic Relations there are over 7 million muslims in America don't they deserve even a single atheist sign ?

  • @hanksnow82 When the muslims start passing laws based on their religion in this country like the christians do, then we will get to them.

  • @zimgirfreak Where have you been they already are . Andre Carson and Keith Ellison are muslim congressmen and you can't get much more sr lawmakers than that . Face it atheists are scared of the muslims so thats why they dont put up billboards saying anything about them .

  • @hanksnow82 No, it's because the Muslims are nearly as much of a threat as the Christians are in this country. Plus, there's more Christians here the Muslims. That's why we don't waste money calling them out.

  • @ProudAtheistIndiana Sorry but most people just think you are chicken shit because the muslims will kill you if you mock them .

  • @hanksnow82 I've never rightly cared what most people think. Muslims are as stupid as any other religions, and a lt more barbaric. They digust me. I mean, I don't see the need for sighs calling them out. It's not like we have a lot of money to throw around.

  • @ProudAtheistIndiana Pleeeeeeease When you can't even come up with a single sign to critisize islam your not fooling anyone . While i find the crap people say and do in the name of reigion dispicable i find cowards like you and your group far worst .

  • @hanksnow82 I see no reason we should waste money dissing a miniority religion in this country. That would just be stupid, unless the American Atheists started to get donations from Gates. Why just Muslims? Why aren't you fighting for signs against Mormons? You're insane if you think the Muslims are more of a danger to our government then the Christians.

  • Comment removed

  • @hanksnow82 No, atheists are not cowards.

  • @mrrocker101 I am an atheist and i am not a coward but all indications are that members of this group are .

  • @hanksnow82 I don't see how?

  • @hanksnow82 Muslims aren't as big a threat in america, neither are Jews, so it would be pointless to do so, I live in the U.K. but from people in america who I talk to, this seems to be the case. This campaign is not about getting at religion in general, it's about combating the christians who seem to think they own the place.

  • @mrrocker101 Do you really think your fooling anyone with that crap ? You are what i despise most ... a gutless liar . I wish you were in front of me so i could spit in your face . Nothing i hate worst than a lying coward .

  • @hanksnow82 Thank you for that glowing character assessment, and at which point did I lie?

  • Comment removed

  • @ProudAtheistIndiana So your scared of the muslims we get that , how about the jews how many signs do you have mocking the jews ?

  • @hanksnow82 Exactly what influence does Islam have in the US? What rock do you live under? My own daughter has been told that her family is not a real family because we are not a family "in Christ". It is Christians who spread hate and ignorance in the US.

  • God is drilled into your head when your young by your religious parents, churches that your parents Make you go to. Religion (all) is the biggest scam in human history! But people WITH A BRAIN know to stay away from these Brainwashers/Religion. If YOU are religious, you are ARE Brainwashed! Think back to your past and try and remember that day the Brainwashing began. Now that your older and wiser, Free yourself!!! You will be SO much happier.

  • @SharkDude1 it's hard man. I remember random shit people told me when I was little and I still have an instinct to think it's true and I'm 26. I just think things that we are taught when young are hard to deprogram, especially when it's from our parents and school teachers.

  • easy way to disprove so many christians feeling about the separation of church and state. Talk about Islam being taught in public schools, talk about an imam leading an invocation to Allah and Muhammad (PBUH) before congressional meetings, and talk about muslim led student prayer in public schools. They change their tune pretty quickly. What they really want is only freedom of Christian Doctrine to preside, and any resistance must be stopped by the state.

  • @PotheadPundit yup.

  • So by enjoying life do you mean be selfish and degenerate........don't you know this is the route of self destruction and collapse of your nation?! You will soon! CATHOLIC STATE.......is great!

  • I can't think of any billboard that would ruin my holidays...  ...do people really pass these sighns and declar "Christmas is ruined"?

  • When the atheists start putting up billboards that attack or make fun of Islam maybe i will take them seriously .

  • Are there any atheist newscasters?

  • your Season?

  • I'm happy that the atheists are finally getting some media attention. Maybe the believers in this country will someday realize that atheists are people too.

  • that donahue is such a hateful douchebag. and a liar. anyone who does 10 seconds of research will find out that christians stole the pagan winter solstice for their christmas. him saying atheists are just pissed off because they don't have a holiday of their own is like someone stealing a car and then saying ya that person is just mad because they don't have a car.

  • How's this for blasphemy? The Virgin Mary had to endure a very painful delivery in order to give birth to that big schmuck.

  • just wondering who is removing some of these comments marked as offensive. The ones I read before they were removed were not offensive in the least- just stating the obvious that the wording in the TV Piece was biased against atheism. I am ticked about that. Do not remove comments that voice atheists opinion if you disagree with it- if it is worded politely. I suppose You tube might be a little biased too?

  • Some people believe that a father that tortures and kills his own son is a beautiful thing and should be worshiped. (John 3:16)

    They also build churches to worship in and pray to the creator of evil. (Isaiah 45:7)

    Others, like me, think a father that has his own son killed is about the most evil and disgusting thing a father can do, and I'm also not a big fan of evil.

    I think the world would be a nicer place without it.

  • @nx01craig Jesus gave him self and God the Father allowed it because of his love for the people of the world. He also raised him from the dead and set him as the King of Kings for what he chose to do out of Love God could not break his own Law and the penalty had to be paid. For the wages of sin is death God commended his love toward us that while we where guilty He died for us in our stead.

  • I can't get over the fail in that religious response billboard... they can't even rhyme...

  • Naw this is not a war and most real believers are not affected buy this kinda stuff saddened maybe.... But it is what it is.. All will be revealed in the end. That is when the real sadness will be.. One of the two sides will be sore disappointed as for me and my house we will serve the Lord Jesus! I would rather live a believers life and find out I was wrong than to live a Atheist life and find out I was wrong!

  • @dmhappy2777 what about the hundreds of other religions you could prescribe to? what if you die and find out that the correct religion was actually the one the native americans believed in? you only believe in jesus as god because of where and when you were born. and your odds are only slightly better than an atheist's when you look at all of the other religions that claim the exact same thing yours claims.

  • @FatherofMan25 People who love Jesus are in every corner of the world !

  • @dmhappy2777 yea there are hindus and muslims in every corner of the world too but anyone with half a brain can see that the majority of christians are located in the west, muslims in middle east etc. And yes there are lots and lots and lots and lots of people who love jesus. 99.9% of them were brainwashed with it before they had any ability to think for themselves. How many fully functioning adults who weren't raised with it pick it up later in life? Noah's Ark only makes sense to a child.

  • @FatherofMan25 There is only one name given among men where buy you must be saved. There are only 2 kinds of people in this world the one that are saved from the wickedness that is set before it and those that are not.

    One day every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that JESUS is Lord and the unbelieving will be cast into the lake of fire that is a everlasting torment. There is a God and he dont want you to be tricked into hell so he provide a way out all u must do is believe whosoever

  • @dmhappy2777 wow you jumped to the lake of fire threats pretty quickly didn't you. damn I wonder what that must be like to live your life actually thinking that you could end up in hell if you do or even think the wrong thing. what a loving god you have! what a wonderful god that values worship and belief in him over anything of actual merit. you could live a life constantly helping others and your god will still burn him/her because they didn't believe where there was no evidence. awful.

  • @FatherofMan25 God does not wish any to parish thats why he provided a way out this world has been judged and convicted Man kind is a fallen race tricked into hell.But whosoever will come may come there is one way out of this mess and if we chose to ignore it we suffer the fate of it. It is a real simple plan and all are able just believe in the the one who is leading you out. It is not yours if you will not receive it A way has been made if you chose not to go then you have chosen

  • @dmhappy2777 If we choose not to accept his "Gift" we are punished? I did not ask to be saved nor do I accept the gift. Oh but wait I can't refuse upon penalty of eternal damnation. God sounds like the GodFather. He makes an offer I can't refuse.

  • @hawklord2001 We are born into condemnation.We are born into a fallen race of beings held captive buy an evil ruler (Satan) But God so loved us that he gave his son to be the propitiation all we have to do is believe that he is the way out of this mess and we are able to get free. God did not make us what we are we as a race of being where tricked into this..God has provided a way out. We can chose to stay and be apart of the this kingdom or we can chose to escape it But there is only one way.

  • @dmhappy2777 Then God is not omnipotent if what you say is true. If God ALLOWED evil to exist then he's not much of a God is he?

    Personally, I worship the ancient Greek Gods. They have MUCH MUCH more personality than Yarwhey - and don't throw the dummy out of the pram everytime something goes wrong - AGAIN disproving his omnipotence.

  • @neil73 You have the freedom to chose who and what you believe.! however as for me and my house we will serve the Lord Jesus. My suspension is how ever that you probable chose not to worship anything but self and that is fine as well however dont blame God when you are cast away into everlasting damnation.

  • @dmhappy2777 Au contraire, Mon Capitaine! I WILL blame God. However, I am as certain as the sun rising tomorrow that what you say and believe in will NOT happen EVER.

    The reason I don't believe in what you believe is the same reason You don't believe in what I believe. Live with it.

  • @neil73 Live I will! Agree to disagree I will! For your sake I hope that what i believe wont happen to ya as well..As you say I believe what i believe and as sure as the sun will rise you will believe as I believe one day! Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord

  • @dmhappy2777

    "Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord"

    grow the fuck up, retard. You're a bit old for imaginary friends.

  • @TheGodlessGuitarist I am not the Author of that statement it is in the Holy scripture's and you can call me all the names you want it wont change a thing you will bow and you will confess and then you will be cast away into eternal damnation not because of anything I say but Because of you and your choices I did not make this up and the word of God has been around since time has begun and calling me names wont change that one bit

  • @dmhappy2777

    "it is in the Holy scripture's"

    Well, I would agree that is is in the books you refer to as 'Holy Scripture'

    "the word of God has been around since time has begun"

    Which word would that be then? The Bible? Really? So you are telling me that the Bible predates the Jewish Torah? the sayings of The Buddah? The Bhagavad Gita? The Illiad and the Oddysey? PMSL

    Fucking Christians! Fuck-ignorant of history, science, philosophy and the funniest of all...your own religion! lol

  • @TheGodlessGuitarist The first five books of the Bible are The Torah! Yes I am telling you that they do predate all the those others!>>>. The Word of God is what created the world.In the beginning GOD SAID... let there be... and in 6 day all that is...BECAME... SO my MR. know all friend how do you predate The beginning ...I'm not ignorant of GOD religion maybe!

  • @dmhappy2777

    "The first five books of the Bible are The Torah! "

    not really, derrived from, yes!

    "they do predate all the those others"

    I'll bet you haven't heard of half of them, let alone know anything of their dating or history, lol

    It is sad to see the likes of you, pitifully uneducated but vehemently certain that your view is correct. To quote a brother in arms "if you are going to assume that the Bible is the oldest book you are going to miss the fact that it's not" lol

  • @TheGodlessGuitarist The like's of me ,pitifully uneducated...You with all your supposed WISDOM and KNOWLEDGEhave not found the truth. My view has nothing to do with anything. No one! ever has prove the Bible to be inaccurate or more foretelling.Many have tried when they could not in any way They have resorted to attacking and trying to get rid of it. Both of which has never been successful nor will it ever NO it's not my view it is the creators view.

  • @dmhappy2777

    "No one! ever has prove the Bible to be inaccurate"

    lol, sure, and your reading list of history experts includes.....who, how many? lol

    Look, if you want to be parrot for you cult, that's you business. If you are determined to be that stupid there is nothing I can do to stop you. But at the very least stop pretending you know something when you very clearly know nothing. It's dishonest at it makes you look very stupid.

  • @TheGodlessGuitarist In the end all will be revealed and the Truth will be known..All the name calling and insults will be heaped back to you.. This will not bring joy to me at all. If truth is what you seek it can be found.Desiring to be unaccountable for one's life style and choices is not a defense for ignoring the Truth and all the name calling in the world wont change that..Besides who do you think looks stupid when they spew forth insults instead of proof..
