They say that America is the most religious nation of the developed world, but is football really a religion? On February 5th, Superbowl Sunday, American Atheists will be flying a banner over Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana that will read, “Football beats church anytime – atheists.org.”
The banner will be flying between 9:30 to 11:30am, traditional church service time. American Atheists President, David Silverman explains:
“Viewers will not be in church because they place the Superbowl over church, and we wholeheartedly agree. We invite everyone to enjoy the game, and to rest assured that there is no god who cares who attends or who wins.”
Silverman adds:
“We'd also like to send a special nod to all the atheists, closeted and outed, who are actually attending the game, which statistically speaking will be more than all the Jews, Muslims and Buddhists, combined, and doubled. There will be a lot of atheists in Indianapolis on Sunday, and we hope every one of them comes to the Reason Rally on March 24 and our National Convention which follows.”
