Free From Religion

     The Freedom From Religion Foundation, which advocates the separation of church and state, put up this billboard so the San Bernardino County embrace Godlessness. The billboard does no harm but people are making a big deal of it. Very religious people are offended by this billboard because they believe that religion and God is everything but the Freedom From Religion thinks differently. They believe that religion makes everything worse because they influence peoples actions more in a negatively than anything positive and I can only agree.   

     The co-president Annie Laurie Gaylor had an interview with ABC 7 Eyewitness News and stated that ”the nation is peppered with churches and the billboards introduces the belief that our society doesn’t need religion to function.” Many people believe that this is a big deal but I think differently. We live in a nation that does not have a solid religion and I think it’s great when people express their beliefs even if it’s controversial or it comes from an atheist. Each group and individual want to be part of society so I do not understand why this is making the news. You do not need to believe in an organized religion to be a good person.
