Atheists explain flying ad campaign
On the Fourth of July across the U.S., American Atheists are taking to skies with a flying banner ad campaign.
They will be flying over busy holiday hot spots like beaches and parks with banners that read: “Atheism is Patriotic” and “God-LESS America.”
Some pilots balked and would not fly the banner ads.
Justin Jaye of Fly Signs Aerial Advertising, told the Belief Blog last week, “I’ve been in this business for 20 years and I’ve never run into so much resistance on people flying,” Jaye said. “I’ve had pilots who are actual atheists who said, ‘Justin, I am an atheist and I won’t fly it because I can’t wear a bulletproof vest.’”
In the video above, Rick Wingrove from the Virginia chapter of American Atheists explains to CNN’s T.J. Holmes more about the campaign and why they picked the Fourth of July.
