Below the heading a picture of New York City (taken before the 9/11 attacks) was displayed. The implied message? A world without religion is a world without war and terror. The ad then went on describe the “growing threat of religious fanaticism here at home”. Beyond wondering whether pastors across our nation would agree with the claim that religious fanaticism is on the rise, I sense that the authors of this ad feel that anyone who is crazy enough to disagree with someone about whether God exists is crazy enough to blow up a building. It’s like someone who feels they were given the wrong change at the supermarket. Whether they are right or wrong, they’re probably not going to stab the sales clerk just because they disagree!
