The atheist Freedom from Religion Foundation has
taken its anti-faith message to Denver, the site of the Democratic National Convention. Their "Imagine No Religion"
sign demands Denver residents and Democratic Party officials preparing for the convention to envision an America
without people who believe in God.
In response, Bishop Council Nedd, chairman of the In
God We Trust has asked Senator Barack Obama to condemn the sign's message.
The Freedom
from Religion Foundation President, Dan Barker, has called Christianity "and enemy to humanity" and "the antithesis
of freedom."
In his letter to Senator Obama Nedd states, "By placing their billboard
in Denver, the FFRF hopes to ride your coattails to the Democratic National Convention and claim your success somehow validates
their anti-religious views. The presence of this hate-filled message in a prominent location in the city where you will be
nominated in just a few weeks has already garnered much media attention. Its message damages the Democratic Party's image
with the 91% of Americans who believe in God. I urge you to publicly reject the stance of the FFRF. Failing to publicly denounce
this attack on religion will permanently damage your message of hope and inclusion with the American people. Your silence
will only show Americans that attacks on their beliefs will go unchallenged in an Obama administration."
