Atheist Group Targets Presidential Candidates’ Faith with Billboards
American Atheists is sponsoring ads in Charlotte to coincide with September’s Democratic National Convention, Dan Merica reports for CNN. One billboard “features an image of Jesus Christ on toast and this description of the faith: ‘Sadistic God; Useless Savior, 30,000+ Versions of ‘Truth,’ Promotes Hates, Calls it ‘Love.’” Merica interviews David Silverman, president of American Atheists, who says, “Our political system is rife with religion and it depends too much on religion and not enough on substance.”
