CHARLESTON, S.C. — Two months after the local atheist organization here put up a billboard saying “Don’t Believe in God? You Are Not Alone,” the group’s 13 board members met in Laura and Alex Kasman’s living room to grapple with the fallout.

If you don't believe in god, come out of the closet. You have many new friends waiting on the other side.
End the culture of hate and violence caused by religious orthodoxy by joining your local secular humanist society where you can make a difference by volunteering at a food pantry or homeless shelter, offer companionship to a shut-in, and do all the other life-affirming things you used to think were the sole purview of the religious. And you can do it without having to trash gays, or support torture, or question the patriotism of those who disagree with you.

Toss off the shackles of organized religion and think for yourself.
