How Some Atheists Are Celebrating Easter

Ever wondered how atheists observe Easter? Well, those on the blog Kill the Afterlife endorse the following way:

The War on Easter

I like to think of atheistic evangelizing as a perpetual War on Superstition or War on the Afterlife. Beyond Belief Media and The Rational Response Squad are after my own heart, because they just took this war to the next level by declaring a War on Easter!

It is a campaign to photograph the planting of 666 copies of the #1 independent documentary on Amazon.com, The God Who Wasn't There [a "documentary" that claims Jesus never existed], in various churches around the country by Easter Sunday. Ideally, these DVDs will be discovered by a worshipper during the Easter Sunday worship service or by children hunting for Easter eggs.

What a great way to Kill The Afterlife! So how about it, atheists? I know you all have a copy of this movie, and I know you all live near a bunch of churches.

What a hoot! Now, here's a "battle report" of a "successful mission" in TN fom the War on Easter blog. (You'll have to supply your own nerdy, laughing sound effects as you read):

I placed four flyers in between seat cushions in the main hall. Some of them tucked down deeper than the one photographed. One in the lobby next to brochures. There was two rows of ‘Guest’ parking and I was the only one parking there. I’ve included a picture ‘blurry’ of the service as it was going on while I placed flyers inconspicuously. They are scheduled for three Easter services on Sunday daytime and one devotional Sunday night. They added the third daytime one tonight. Someone WILL see the flyer. I was sitting about 3/4 of the way back where the less ‘holy’ sit.

If you would like to see a picture of the flyers they are passing out you can look here. 666 copies of the DVD distributed is a lofty goal, but I'm sure with no God at their side and the ingenuity that comes up with names like "Kill the Afterlife" and "War on Easter," these guys can do it!
