A bunch of heathens in Alabama are decrying organized religions as “scams” on a new billboard. At first, I wondered why the Crimson Tide would do such a thing. Investigating further, I learned that the advertiser is a group called American Atheists. (They’re godless, but partriotic!) A spokesman for the group conceded that the sign, hyping an upcoming regional meeting in Huntsville (the Sodom of the South?), could “make a lot of people mad.” Such folks include Christians, Jews and Muslims, as the billboard uses symbols representing those faiths.
