Good for Goodness Sake: advertising atheism this Christmas

The American Humanist Association is the most recent religious group to enter the arena of mass marketing. Just in time for the holidays, they have released an ad campaign much like the one backed by Dawkins in London, which was highlighted on epicdialogue a few weeks back. In a recent interview with FoxNews, Fred Edwords, a spokesman for the AHA said, “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 because of its association with traditional religion.”



While I’m fully aware of the history of St. Nicholas, I find it funny that they spoof Santa Claus.
It’s curious that the group who tells you to go about living your life also advertises that you do it in their way. It’s like evangelism for people who don’t believe in a god, and fundamentally betrays Dawkins own arguments against religion.
