It seems that what you call mistakes aren't mistakes after all.

"We want everyone to know that people can be good without religious beliefs," said John Rafferty, a spokesperson for Big Apple CoR."
The Ten Commandments are objective.
Assuming God is real is valid because there is no way to know for sure, so either I assume he is real, or I assume he is not, we have to do one.
I would prefer to see more Coexist posters and bumper stickers. Or Carl Sagan quotes about the Universe. Telling people they can be good without god isn't really going to make people reconsider what they believe.
I saw one of those that had been cut up and rearranged to spell, "toxic". Smart-aleck atheists!I would prefer to see more Coexist posters and bumper stickers.

One way or the other you need to worry, not being baptized, might not make it to heaven, not being unbaptized might not become a reasoned person.
What I would do is drag my kids right past the sign and say "kids, those signs are from people that don't believe in God." "They think we got here by chance and we are just glorified animals". "Kids does that make sense, are you an animal." Of course kids know they aren't an animal so they will say no and possible laugh. Then I would ask them if apes wear clothes. Case closed.

It's such an odd thing to see atheism being equated with amoral at the very least and immoral more often. Here's my quick anecdote: I used to be an assistant manager at a bookstore and I was working in the receiving room. Another employee, Ray, was working with me and we got to talking about various things. So religion is eventually brought up and Ray mentions that he's a Baptist, and I tell him I'm not religious. He seemed flustered by this and asks the inevitable "but you believe in God right?" I tell him I'm an atheist. Ray replies with "But you're such a nice guy!"That's not the point. The point of that phrase is to tell people that it's OK not to believe in God, that not believing in God doesn't make you a bad person.
For instance, I was doing a sort of survey at work asking people about their religious beliefs. When I asked one girl whether she believed in God or Christianity, her response was "Well, I'm a good person". I had to explain to her that "believing in God" =/= "good person". That's the kind of thinking that phrase is trying to get rid of. It's not trying to convert anyone.

Evangelical atheism? How is that different from religion?Thought I would share:
Atheist ads to adorn New York subway stations - CNN.com
Opinions? Thoughts? General snarky comments?

Of course not. We aren't mammals at all! We are self-contained ultra-beings with no biological connection to the rest of the planet which is why we never get sick or die and why we don't test medical remedies and procedures on other lower forms of mammals who are biologically similar to us.What I would do is drag my kids right past the sign and say "kids, those signs are from people that don't believe in God."

Personally, I think atheism only exists because theists have been shoving their fairy stories in our face all this time. If they'd just shut up and leave us alone, we would not need to label ourselves as anything except humans.I always wanted to know what we atheists were trying to convince people of, exactly.
I am personally disappointed with all atheists who have no problem with this ad. All it does is prove that you believe in atheism as a religion.
