David Silverman, president of New Jersey-based American Atheists, atheists.org, unveiled the organization’s newest billboard campaign, which mocks religion in the political landscape. The billboards feature perceived aspects of Christianity and Mormonism that, according to American Atheists, have no place in politics.

In the billboard on Christianity, for instance, God is called "sadistic" and Jesus a "useless saviour." Christianity is said to promote hate but call it "love." In the billboard on Mormonism, God is called a "space alien" and the faith is accused of baptizing dead people.
