A new billboard is going up in Raleigh and five other North Carolina cities with a seemingly innocuous slogan superimposedon an image of the American flag: “OneNation Indivisible.”
It’s what the slogan doesn’t say that may bother some people.
Since 1954, the Pledge of Allegiance has split those three words to include two others: “under God.”
But this billboard was paid for by N.C. Secular Association, a coalition of nonbelievers and agnostics. Their message: We’re Americans, too.
[blockquote]We’re Americans, too.[/blockquote]
well, then, by definition, you’re “under God”, too. 😉
This reminded me of a 2006 Stephen Colbert clip
“The De-Deification of the American Faithscape where Stephen goes after the eight percent of Americans who don’t believe in God (3:05)”

(Sorry- I don’t have the expertise to remove the advertisment that sometimes start before the clip starts.)
Sure, I’m good with this display – as long as they will stop suing people to remove Bibles from desks, crosses from neckchains, etc. Dump the lame idea that the Constitution creates and expectation that you’ll never, ever be in presence of religious people, and you can keep your lil’ billboard campaign.
.. room to spraypaint on that sign ….- just sayin’…
Oh, fair enough I suppose, but there is a level and persistence with a self righteous minority that grows tiresome very quickly. There is something contemptible about a minority using its technical status tp score cultural points in order to magnify its own agenda.. Larry
I’ll go to my church and the athiests can go to their whatever it is.
