First-Ever Godless Holiday Campaign


The humanist are trying something new this year by celebrating a new kind of holiday tradition. This new Holiday consist of a new advertising campaign that displays ads around five different cities. The difference between last years campaign is that it will cover fuve different cities instead of just one location. These locations will be Washington D.C., New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco. This will be considered the first-ever nation wide humanist holiday advertising campaign. The ads will consist of signs such as "No God?.. No problem!" all over buses, rail cars, and even inside the buses. Roy Speckhardt, a executive director of the American Humanist Association states that "We're hopinng this campaign will build awareness about the humanisy movement and our ethical life philosophy." They believe that this campaign will promote the idea og being good without God. Many who agree with this idea think that people can be good without having to believe in God.
I believe that this type of campaign is unnecessary which is why I disagree with the message they are trying to send out. I think that God plays an important role in helping people along with getting people through the day. God is what people look up to for guidance.
