New Sloganizing Atheism submission!

*sighs* This one is almost too easy.

From William in Seattle:

My slogan:

Jesus is welcome in your church, but not in our government.

As I mentioned in the first Sloganizing Atheism post, there may be prizes and/or internet points awarded for involvement at some point. If this picks up steam and I start having a steady supply of photos and participants there will likely be some sort of recognition for awesomeness.

From Mike and Andrea of Wisconsin:

And their snarky response:

Fighting truth decay by studying the Bible is sort of like fighting cancer by starting smoking.

New Sloganizing Atheism!

Sloganizing Atheism is a response to the elebenty gazillion in-your-face religious billboards, church signs, bumper stickers, t-shirts or other propaganda that I see every day.  It is an offense that religious privilege allows these advertisements to be accepted and go virtually unnoticed while we can’t put up one teensy tiny little bus sign that says “Atheists” without backlash.

You can play along by submitting photos of your own. If you see a religious billboard, church sign, bumper sticker, t-shirt or other propaganda, snap a photo of it and send it to bio_dork(at)hotmail(dot)com. You can either send along a response/atheist alternative slogan, or I’ll make one up. I’ll credit you by name for your contribution, or you can request to stay anonymous.

Here’s today’s photo:

Billboard in the Omaha, Nebraska area says, “In the beginning God created…” followed by a photo of the Earth from space. There’s also a little picture of the Ascent of  Man with a big red “X” crossing it out.

Snarky Response:

In the beginning God created…a shit storm of violence and bigotry that persists to this day.

This is the second Sloganizing Atheism post (this was the first). As a refresher:

Sloganizing Atheism is a response to the elebenty gazillion in-your-face religious billboards, church signs, bumper stickers, t-shirts or other propaganda. They’re so ubiquitous that I bet most people don’t even notice them. But they’re an annoyance to those of us who 1) don’t agree with the message, and 2) are offended by the privilege that allows this type of religious advertising to go unnoticed while we can’t put up one teensy tiny little bus sign that says “Atheists” without backlash.

So, here’s how it works:

The law of sloganizing: For every crappy bumper sticker message, there is an equal and opposite crappy bumper sticker message.

In my day I run across a gazillion and ten different religious advertisements. I usually just mumble a snarky response to myself and move on, but I thought it would be fun to share the snark. I hope to start a collection of responses to bumper sticker religiosity here.

Want to help?

If you see a crappy religious billboard, church sign, bumper sticker, t-shirt or other propaganda, snap a photo of it and send it to bio_dork(at)hotmail(dot)com. You can either send along a response, or I’ll make one up. I’ll credit you by name for your contribution, or you can request to stay anonymous. Happy hunting!

You can also play from home by suggesting an alternate caption/response to the day’s photo in the comments. Like for the one below.
