Humanists Run "Why Believe In God?" Ad In Time For Christmas

The American Humanist Association is apparently fueling a new round in the debate over public displays at Christmas time. CBN News reported yesterday that the AHA will spend $40,000 to place ads on the outside and inside of buses in Washington, D.C. Space is being purchased through December. The ads read: "Why believe in a god? Just be good for goodness' sake." (Photo of ads.) An AHA spokesman explained: "Our reason for doing it during the holidays is there are an awful lot of agnostics, atheists, and other types of non-theists who feel a little alone during the holidays...." An AHA press release last Tuesday says that similar ads are running in the New York Times and Washington Post.
