Athiest Billboard Taken Down Options

"Are religionists so thin-skinned they must squelch free debate? One small freethought billboard in the immense state of California is such a threat to insecure religious egos that it must be censored?

I support freedom of religion and all, but I don't see any billboards advertising other religions. So...I guess it's only fair?

The biggest problem I have with organized religion - or religion in general - or faith in general - is the fact that it is so inimical to critical thought. Even without religion/faith, there are enough people in the world who do not think enough about the things that they do or think; people (especially in such a radically religious place like America) hardly question why we have certain social constructs (racism, sexism, slavery, homophobia) to see if they are even valid or not.

I also see no reason to attribute what people, nature, or events in general to God or some higher power at all. Why blame AIDS on an already marginalized people for being "sinful?" (Whatever that may mean or is based on) Why thank God or some other higher power for something that you have done? Why is it necessary? The things that organized religion proclaims are true seem to have no standard for which we can base their validity on - it embodies ignorance, intolerance, irresponsibility, and blindness.
