Atheists Calls Birth of Jesus Christ 'Fake News' in Billboards Attacking Christians

American Atheists, one of the largest secular organizations in the country, is again urging people to skip church this Christmas in new billboard ads attacking the birth of Jesus Christ, calling it "fake news." Unbelievable!!

"Everyone knows that the stories we're told in church aren't the truth," said David Silverman, president of American Atheists, in a press release on Thursday.

"People ignore that fact because they enjoy the community, the friendship, and the traditions that go along with religion. But we're here to tell them that churches don't have a monopoly on any of that. There's a fantastic and vibrant community of atheists all across the country creating their own traditions and lifelong friendships."

A local Christian leader said: “The billboards evangelizing for unbelief, put up each Christmastime, represent the atheists’ annual attempt at relevancy,” he says. “This season is an opportunity for the God-deniers to emerge from their ideological vacuum and enjoy some momentary news coverage. But this requires the presence of and reality of Christianity. Strangely enough, God and Jesus have to ‘be there’ in order for the atheists to fight recognition of them—thus, the schizophrenic nature of the campaign and of atheism itself.”


The organization has launched two billboard campaigns seeking to display its version of truth; one in the Albuquerque and Dallas markets depicting a nativity scene beside the "fake news" slogan.

Another one in Oklahoma City promotes its National Convention there March 29–April 1, 2018, and reads "Just like Santa Claus, the atheists are coming to town. Silverman encouraged people to "spend time with your friends and family, give gifts, do charitable work, and enjoy the season." Interesting that the Atheist convention in Melbourne Australia was canceled due to lack of booking...some would say lack of interest. The previous conference became a platform for Christian hate which the media was more than happy to promote, but it did display this group's true feelings...hatred.

Nick Fish, national program director for American Atheists, argued that people are "rightly skeptical about some of the news they see on Facebook, hear from their family, or are told by elected officials. But too often, they don't extend that skepticism to their religious views and what their religious leaders are telling them, and right now, we could all use a little more skepticism about the things we're told, no matter the source."

American Atheists has been putting up Christmas-themed displays for years. Its December 2016 billboards also poked fun at Trump and his "Make America Great Again" campaign slogan, calling on people to "Make Christmas Great Again" by skipping church.

Silverman told The Christian Post in an interview back in December 2014 that its billboards at the time, also urging people to skip church as they are "too old for fairy tales," are aimed at atheists who are living with theists in mixed families.

The billboards simply divide people when they should be uniting people. They make the false claim that they have truth and the history of Christianity is completely fake. It is an extraordinary false claim that is being proposed as truth.
