@ guizonde: I think I like the way you think.
Warning: Biohazardously Awesome
Does anyone take Donald Trump seriously, anymore?

It's one of those know-your-place-atheists kind of signs -- made in that finest tradition of telling uppity minorities to stop rocking the boat.

The sign doesn't seem to call any one group out. The worst interpretation I got out of this picture is that the poster is proud of themself for finding a way to feel superior to the Christians, the Jews, the Pagans, the Muslims, and the Atheists all at once.

In the United States, at least, devout displays of religiosity are a social convention and atheists are supposed to sit there and nod their heads when it happens.It's the kind of message that might sound nice unless you've experienced the flipside of that culture.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were: "If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches. Tingly!
I'll stop eating beef lamb and pork the same day they start letting me eat vegetarians.
