What is it with atheists that compels them to share their message of hopelessness with the rest of us? Misery loves company?
 
Over the 4th of July weekend the American Atheists decided it would be fun to rain on everyone’s parades by flying planes over various locations pulling banners reading “God-less America,” and “Atheism is patriotic.” Not sure how many people were subjected to their unhappy slogans, but the good news is that they were at least partially grounded because many of the pilots chose to pass on the assignment. Only 17 of Fly Signs Aerial Advertising’s 85 pilots agreed to participate.
 
Here’s a great quote from one of the pilots, Red Calvert (as reported in USA Today):
 

“I respect our country and I respect our churches and we’ve got enough problems in our country without stirring up some more. If those people want to do something they believe in, fine, just don’t include me.”

 
Amen Red!
