Humanists target kids in latest anti-religion drive
The children of religious parents are being targeted in an anti-religion advertising campaign by the same humanist group that was behind atheist bus ads.
The British Humanist Association (BHA) says its adverts, which read: “Please don’t label me. Let me grow up and choose for myself”, are part of its aim to “phase out” faith schools.
The posters show young children surrounded by religious names including “Protestant child” and “Buddhist child” alongside other descriptions such as “Marxist child” and “Anarchist child”.
Richard Dawkins, the atheist campaigner, said at the launch of the campaign: “Nobody would seriously describe a tiny child as a ‘Marxist child’ or an ‘Anarchist child’ or a ‘Post-modernist child’.
“Yet children are routinely labelled with the religion of their parents. We need to encourage people to think carefully before labelling any child too young to know their own opinions and our adverts will help to do that.”
Ariane Sherine, the comedian who initiated the bus adverts campaign earlier this year, said she wanted the campaign to impact a number of groups.
In an article entitled “Hey, preacher – leave those kids alone”, she said: “We hope the advert’s message will encourage the Government, media and general public to see children as individuals, free to make their own choices as soon as they are old enough to fully understand what these choices mean, and that they will think twice before describing children in terms of their parents’ religion in the future.”
But the adverts have caused Christians to say that the campaign is “ludicrous”, “anti-religious” and “mistaken”.
Paul Woolley, who is Director of Theos, a theology think tank, said: “The advert appeals to our love of autonomy and the right to choose.”

What is it that makes people want to bring others down with them? What harm comes from living a life of loving your neighbor as yourself? What problem is there with teaching children to respect their bodies and others? Why are these atheists more evangelistic than some believers?
What do you think?

What transparent idiocy. They are advocating that parents take a position of not taking a position. But that is a position!
The atheists are trying to cheat, because they know their worldview already dominates in education. They just don’t like the competition at home. They suppress the truth in unrighteousness, as usual.
According to the leftist wickeds in CON-gress, it is a HEINOUS CRIME to waterboard an admitted terrorist who killed over 5,000 innocent Americans…thus possibly preventing further murders.
Yet, this same group is pushing a healthcare bill which allows for the funding of a physician using “We the People’s” tax dollars, to suck a live child out of it’s mothers womb using a high powered vacuum cleaner!!!!
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

This is merely more atheist propaganda as Richard Dawkins wonders whether there is occasion for “society stepping in” and hopes that such efforts “might lead children to choose no religion at all.” Dawkins also supports the atheist summer camp “Camp Quest.”
Phillip Pullman states the following about his “fictional” books for children, “I don’t think I’m writing fantasy. I think I’m writing realism. My books are psychologically real.” But what does he really write about? As he has admitted, “My books are about killing God” and “I’m trying to undermine the basis of Christian belief.”

Yet again, atheists are collecting “amazing sums” during a time of worldwide recession not in order to help anyone in real material need but in order to attempt to demonstrate just how clever they consider themselves to be—while actually loudly, proudly and expensively demonstrating their ignorance and arrogance—need any more be said?
