Atheist billboard refutes notion U.S. founded on Christian religion
In an elegant demonstration of a historical truth, Atheists in California are refuting the notion that the U.S. was founded upon the Christian religion.
On Friday, Backyard Skeptics, a California based group catering to humanists, rational thinkers, atheists and agnostics, held a press conference to publicize a new billboard refuting the claim made by some that the U.S. is founded upon the Christian religion.
The new 48x14-foot billboard raised above 1526 Newport Boulevard in Costa Mesa, California, simply quotes the 1797 Treaty of Tripoli. The billboard reads:
AMERICA IS NOT, IN ANY SENSE, FOUNDED ON THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION.
The Treaty of Tripoli, 1797 - Signed Unanimously by Congress
