Just in time for the holidays, a group of atheists has decided to put up some billboards in Colorado:
Now, I don't believe in any gods, nor do I agree with the concept of organized religion in general. But by putting up these billboards, I think that this just shows that these atheists are nothing more than a new kind of religious group. Believe me, they have an agenda for control, just like any religion. They want to influence the thoughts and minds of others to conform to their standards. And of course they chose this time of the year to prod Christians, and just looking at this story shows that they are getting the desired response.
I feel that if atheists really want to get their message across, they should ignore these messages intended to bring forth a knee-jerk reaction. What they really need to do is focus on improving the education system. If you look at what has happened in the United States, the school boards and governments have been infiltrated by those who seek to impose their views on the education system. The fact that many places considered teaching "intelligent design" just shows the depth of how far these religious nutjobs have sunk themselves into the system. This shows that there needs to be more reasoned people in these positions, lest things continue to degrade.

I think my point is that there is a clear difference between atheism and being anti-religious. I think the South Park episode where Cartman traveled into the future illustrated that point perfectly. Any group that intends to forward an agenda is a religous group, regardless of belief in a god.
