Tag: Freedom from Religion Foundation

A national group of atheists and agnostics erected a billboard celebrating the bicentennial of Charles Darwin's birth just outside Grand Junction this week, the Freedom From Religion Foundation announced Tuesday. The town landed the "Praise Darwin: Evolve Beyond Belief" billboard -- which also commemorates the 150th anniversary of the publication of Darwin's On the Origin of Species -- because Grand Junction rejected a proposal by a local atheist to proclaim a day honoring the father of evolution, FFRF said in a release.

Here’s hoping we all get this Happy Holidays-versus-Christmas thing, as well as the atheists’ agitations to “imagine no religion” thing out of our systems before Thanksgiving, so we can all have some peace on earth.
