" She had of course controversy comes with that. It's okay to say Merry Christmas or displayed Manger scenes on public property. Or sing Christmas carols and public schools well now one atheist group is putting a new spin on the war on Christmas. Spending 40000 dollars for ads Iran on Washington DC buses. That feature Santa Claus asking why I believe in god just -- good for goodness sake. -- It is with the American humanist association that's the group that launched the campaign. Also here is bill Donohue his president of the Catholic league for religious and civil rights welcome to about -- just let me start with you out. What chapter your group over in in the UK took out some similar ads saying. -- let me find it here say why believe in god he probably doesn't exist anyone."
" Probably -- god yeah so relax and enjoy your life so along those lines yeah yeah so I'm what's intimate yes. This is mostly trying to reach out to two fellows who now people who are already inclined to. Not believe people who are. No doubting wondering questioning who know that. They're usually maligned for not believing in god told that there immoral amoral and we want them to know that. They're people of their dislike them that you can be good without believing in god and message I've -- YouTube has said not be good for goodness sake. It's actually -- good for goodness sake this -- there you take for the sake of being good don't be good because. But god tell would you be good just the purely for the sake of being good."
" Puckett and 92% of Americans according to pew poll believe and got so why thrown their own beliefs. In that interfaces."
" I'm not sure how it throws their views that going to face for saying look you don't need to believe in god to be good in fact this is something we can all agree on that.

" Okay Phil Donahue Kelly be good just for the sake of being good how certainly weekend as individuals not as societies and quite frankly as an agenda here. They always choose -- his dog day. This guy had any guts they choose Ramadan and explained to the Muslims quite frankly we've had arrests of militants second list of activities through books to movies. Last Sunday in Lansing Michigan gay terrorists stormed a church that Christians that charge. What these guys are sticking their nose in where they don't belong and this is a cheap way of trying to. Did take a shot at Christmas they don't have any guts that they did so I said they go after the Muslims -- flat -- fantastic."
" I I think it's wrong to say these people don't know -- knows where they don't belong this is our society do we care about how we treat each other we care about the perception. And we think it's very important that everybody in our society understands that even if you don't believe in god you can be good and this is the message was running at something that. Shouldn't be controversial that I'm served on you agree with but to say that we don't belong."
" Milk powder to have their First Amendment right that's right out and say what they want that's what they shouldn't be so profoundly ignorant those sociology 11 says the group morality has always been grounded in religion. They're trying to say no it's grounded individuals. What Jeffrey Dahmer had a conscience to -- You know what he DT destroyed his victims and any hate them we saw what happened with militant secularism. In the twentieth century -- didn't fifty million people dead because of this man's philosophy pol pot Hitler Mao. And install Obama can't go back in the only reason he has you don't switches between christianity is the foundation of liberty in this country and western civilization the Judeo Christian it cost allows for this man to be alive and not dead as he -- been -- the same -- to have someplace out I'd definitely a few seconds left we'll get to the last part."
" Art it's important you understand that. You know. And important put our society first -- our fellow man first not necessarily put whatever god told you first visit our website find out more. WWW -- Y I -- I believe in god dot war."
