The presidential election is just under 200 days away and the Freedom From Religion Foundation is starting a billboard campaign aimed at preventing the “folly of theocracy”:

That “God Fixation Won’t Fix This Nation” billboard is going up in Denver (twice) and Colorado Springs (once). In other words, not far from the headquarters of Focus on the Family and Ted Haggard‘s former church…

“This is the launch of our election-year caveat,” says FFRF Co-President Annie Laurie Gaylor… … “God fixation is what is wrong with our nation, and we need to place our best energies, time and money in improving this world, and not worrying about an unknowable, unprovable afterlife, or expecting an imaginary god to swoop down to fix our very real problems,” Gaylor says.

All three billboards will be up through the first week of May, serving a dual purpose as opposition to the National Day of Prayer on May 3rd.
