Well, this could partially explain why:

When atheists usually post billboards and other non-belief or "myth" stuff, it mainly includes Christianity, and during the Christmas/Holiday season, it targets Christmas.

Why are they afraid to post "myth" stuff about Judaism and Islam?
I think they are scared because they know how strong Muslims and Jewish are, and what consequenses they will get for doing it, while poor Christians does not usually do anything about it.

This is ridiculous!

PS! I'm not Christian myself, but it's very unfair. If you are going to post stuff about something, INCLUDE all religions, or leave them alone and keep your own beliefs to yourself.

Atheist should respect that they live in a country where close to 80% are Christians (some states even higher %). Keep in mind that the U.S. has the world's largest Christian population.

Christianity is such a peaceful and wonderful religion. Yes, some people might ruined the religion, but that's not what the religion is about. Too bad most people never read the bible, watched Jesus movies and judge the religion bad without knowing really anything about it. Being Christian is something that 2.3 billion people worldwide should be PROUD of.

Christmas/Easter/Valentines etc. are fun holidays!

Actually, I think that according to a lot of the "real Christians" on this forum, there are probably about three dozen "real Christians" in the entire world.

Just the opposite, it has grown too big to sustain itself. An implosion is in the making and the result much of it is going to Jump ship. American Christianity will generate a very sudden growth in atheism, probably within my lifetime and not much of that remains.

Christianity depends on constant growth, but it is too divided for constructive growth as a unified Christianity. Some denomination will probably survive but the largest ones seem to have exceeded their maximum and the individual fundie ones never were sustainable.
