Atheist Ads Will Appear In New York Subway Stations

A coalition of eight groups calling themselves the Big Apple Coalition of Reason have purchased space for posters in a dozen New York subway stations. CNN reports that beginning Monday, posters raising awareness of those who do not believe in God will be displayed. The ads will read: "A million New Yorkers are good without God. Are you?" The goal of the campaign is to reach out to those who have similar views. Funded by a $25,000 anonymous donation, this is part of a broader national campaign. New York's Metro Transit Authority says that its advertising guidelines respect freedom of speech and religion.
