FOX NEWS reports: The Lamar Outdoor billboard near New York shows silhouettes of the traditional images of three wise men approaching a Nativity scene.

The space was paid for by officials with American Atheists, who said it cost $20,000, and Fox reported that Lamar tried to solicit business from Christian organizations it wanted to pay for a competing message nearby. Atheists’ spokesman Dave Silverman told Fox that they wanted to encourage atheists who are “going through the motions” of being religious to come out of the closet.

“We also assure you that, like every other person in this country, you know FAR more atheists than you think.”
