Atheists for Jesus
Following on from the Super Bowl post last week I happened across this, it's some kind of advertisement for Atheism. Very nicely made but slightly odd viewed through English eyes, what's it for I ask myself? I imagine that it plays out better in America where Atheists are certainly under a lot more pressure from the various aggressive religious factions there. I suspect that just having something to accompany the overt (and pervasive) public religious messaging stateside makes non-believing people feel better or maybe it's aimed at provoking fence-sitters, who knows, it's a free country as they say.

Hi,
My name is Ken Schei and I'm the founder of "Atheists for Jesus." I'm not sure why the video was posted under the title Atheists for Jesus, but it did lead me to the video (which I enjoyed).
Being an atheist in the United States is, let us say, interesting (some would say, surreal).
If you ever have the time/interest to listen to my podcast series: "Atheists for Jesus: Rescuing Jesus (and America) from the Bible" I'd be interested in your feedback. The podcasts are free on iTunes or from my websites: www.atheists-for-jesus.com or www.rescuingjesus.org.
Hi Ken,
Thanks for your note and the links, I will certainly take a look. I titled this post Atheists for Jesus because the video reminded me of the equivalent religious ones, it seemed to me to have a similar "feel" to it, that's all.
I like it!
