KRQE News: "Anti Religion" Billboards Surface

November 22, 2009 -

ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - Messages questioning religion are popping up across the city of Albuquerque just weeks before the biggest religious holidays in the world.

The Freedom from Religion group sponsoring the billboards said they are paid through next month.

Even if some find them controversial, the group said they arent about to take the billboards down.

Many times religion is a crutch that doesn't do as much good as people think it does, Freedom of Religion member Ron Herman said. We paid for the space, just like people paid for their space in newspapers advertising their services."

The colorful messages are on 10 billboards around Albuquerque. One billboard reads Imagine No Religion and Keep Religion out of Government.

"Religion is bullshit" - George Carlin.

@griffynelvyncraft Religion is a disease, and it's evil. In my life, the

worst people that I've ever met were all avid church-goers ("people

of God"). I am an athiest, and proud of it. I love my fellow man, and

I am tolerant of others. And, for the record, some guy named Jesus

did NOT die for "my sins". Assuming that this guy ever even existed

(a HUGE assumption, by the way!), he lived thousands of years be-

fore I was born. Yet he died for "my sins", eh? Baloney!

Religion means nothing to me. Quite frankly, I don't trust ANYTHING that has started wars.

Which was added at the height of the Red Scare back in 1954. If you weren't a God-fearing American, then you were here to spy for Mother Russia. Don't get it twisted; the original as penned by Francis Bellamy specifically made no mention of religion.

@7jshelto - Its apparent that if they are living with anyone its showing their not alone. You don't have to be religious or non-religious to make someone feel they are not alone. Its called being a good person... I find your story a bit far fetched but ill give it to you.
