Fight the Commies—Go to Church!

[I’m having trouble finding the time to continue Darwin Was Wrong. Hopefully this weekend! In the meantime, here is a quickie I wrote a couple of months ago and then forgot to run.]

I found the above image on Miss Retro Modern’s Flickr stream. The ad above comes from Canada, which just proves that the U.S. doesn’t have a monopoly on Christian fear-mongering. The ad was published in 1955, the glory days of anti-communism, anti-atheism, and the Cold War.

This ad is so scary. The church is almost empty! The commies will win for sure! We’re endangering our Way Of Life by cheating God out of his weekly fix.

I bet you materialistic atheists out there didn’t know you were enslaving six out of every twenty people living!

(Why didn’t they just say three out of ten? Can’t they find the least common denominator? Maybe they should spend less time in church and more time in school.)
