Just like any atheist organization’s website the first thing you notice as close to the top of the page as possible of the American Humanist Association website are the words “donate now”-actually, it is written thusly, “DONATE NOW.”
With their mind on their money and their money on their mind the American Humanist Association are the next atheist organization that has nothing better to do with donated money during a time of worldwide recession but waste it attempt to demonstrative just how clever they think themselves to be.
The new billboards are to read,
Want a Better World? Prayer not Required
And another anti-Christian support group rears its ugly head in the form of the American Humanist Association.
The Communications and Policy Manager of the American Humanist Association, Karen Frantz, affirmed,
We have really upped the ante with this ad_
In the past our message has reached out to atheists, agnostics and other nontheists already in the community. This ad, however, goes a little farther and says faith is not a necessity for a better world_
On their website, under “Planned Giving” it states that “The Humanist Foundation,”
_offers members exceptional opportunities to ensure the advancement of Humanism’s life-affirming message to countless future generations_This effort is the culmination of a dream among AHA members, who have been providing for the future of Humanism through their wills, life insurance plans, trusts and annuities_to further enhance the AHA’s mission-to reach as many people as possible through well-developed outreach programs, advertising, conferences, the printed word, media and electronic communications.

These billboards are to waste space in Moscow, Idaho. It is a good thing that these billboards are not going up in Moscow, Russia as they know very, very, very well what a world without prayer, without regard for God, is like and it is most certainly not “Better.”
Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn, “Men Have Forgotten God” – The Templeton Address
It was Dostoevsky, once again, who drew from the French Revolution and its seeming hatred of the Church the lesson that “revolution must necessarily begin with atheism.” That is absolutely true. But the world had never before known a godlessness as organized, militarized, and tenaciously malevolent as that practiced by Marxism. Within the philosophical system of Marx and Lenin, and at the heart of their psychology, hatred of God is the principal driving force, more fundamental than all their political and economic pretensions. Militant atheism is not merely incidental or marginal to Communist policy; it is not a side effect, but the central pivot_
But there is something they did not expect: that in a land where churches have been leveled, where a triumphant atheism has rampaged uncontrolled for two-thirds of a century, where the clergy is utterly humiliated and deprived of all independence, where what remains of the Church as an institution is tolerated only for the sake of propaganda directed at the West, where even today people are sent to the labor camps for their faith, and where, within the camps themselves, those who gather to pray at Easter are clapped in punishment cells–they could not suppose that beneath this Communist steamroller the Christian tradition would survive in Russia. It is true that millions of our countrymen have been corrupted and spiritually devastated by an officially imposed atheism, yet there remain many millions of believers: it is only external pressures that keep them from speaking out, but, as is always the case in times of persecution and suffering, the awareness of God in my country has attained great acuteness and profundity_
The concepts of good and evil have been ridiculed for several centuries; banished from common use, they have been replaced by political or class considerations of short lived value. It has become embarrassing to state that evil makes its home in the individual human heart before it enters a political system_
Western societies are losing more and more of their religious essence as they thoughtlessly yield up their younger generation to atheism_
Atheist teachers in the West are bringing up a younger generation in a spirit of hatred of their own society_
All attempts to find a way out of the plight of today’s world are fruitless unless we redirect our consciousness, in repentance, to the Creator of all: without this, no exit will be illumined, and we shall seek it in vain.
