Freedom from Religion Foundation launches new bus ads on National Day of Prayer
In “celebration” of the National Day of Prayer, a Freethought organization will host a rally and launch a new series of anti-religion bus ads in Madison, Wisconsin tomorrow.
“Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off,” aka the anti-National Day of Prayer rally, kicks off at noon Thursday, May 6, at the State Street entrance to the Wisconsin Capitol. Organized by the Madison, Wis.-based Freedom From Religion Foundation, the event aims to educate the public about the federal court ruling that the National Day of Prayer is unconstitutional.
Thursday is also the day that FFRF’s new series of freethought ads will start running on buses in Madison. The ad campaign’s theme is “America is not a Christian nation.” Signs on bus interiors and exteriors display seven different messages that highlight America’s secular heritage.
This ad will run on the exterior of buses.
Six ads will run in rotation, in bus interiors:
Am I the only one jealous that these ads are only running in Madison, Wisconsin? If you want to see FFRF ads in your town, be sure to check out billboards in your area and let FFRF know about them. A few minutes of your time as a local contact, finding the right spot for an ad, may be all it takes! See FFRF’s page about bringing ads to your town for details.
Speakers at the rally, which will last about an hour, include Matt Rothschild, editor of The Progressive magazine; James Coors, UW-Madison professor emeritus in the Department of Agronomy; FFRF Co-Presidents Annie Laurie Gaylor and Dan Barker, along with FFRF staffers. Rather than a “moment of silence”, FFRF promises instead a “moment of bedlam”. Barker will also perform some of his acclaimed Freethought musical compositions.

Time will prove the fallacy of all religions. The human specie with a developed imagination has fantasized itself individual and eternal continuance. Humanity has an affinity for dogma so the seemingly securities associated with supernatural divinity to some carries a mythical shelter that the more emotionally inclined find deceptively comforting. Judge Crabb should be commended for standing up and being counted. "To the common man religion is true. To the wise it is false. To the rulers it is useful." Seneca the Younger.
Beautifully and eloquently said, momintum!
Have all the public Days of Prayer you want.
Why must you involve our govt.?
It's high time we got back to the Contitution.
Since ancient peoples had no way of knowing (or even imagining) that the presently known Universe (but one of potentially many) extends for 40,000,000,000 light years–the distance that photons, traveling at 186,000 miles per second would travel in that time) existed, no wonder they believed in supernatural agencies and entities. Isn't it high time that we bring our thinking up to date?
Doesn't sound like our thinking is out-dated, just sounds like human-depravity is continuing to prove itself the more excuses and imaginations we come up with to excuse away God. If He doesn't exist, then why is there such am agressive attack to excuse Him away? Check out the nature around you, search through your conscience…is there no prick or proding to convict you of His "invisible attributes, eternal power, and divine nature…"? (Romans 1:20) Or has it been to long that you have supressed His truth?
