Billboard

The billboard we placed on I-26 in January 2009 was unlike any which had ever appeared in South Carolina and so generated a great deal of public interest. It had a brief message, one emblazoned on a background of a blue cloud-filled sky. It read, "Don't Believe in God? You Are Not Alone." followed by the address of this website. Similar billboards have recently appeared in Washington, DC, Philadelphia, and New York City among other cities nationwide. The purpose of the campaign is not to offend, but to let people know that it is OK to be openly nonreligious and to introduce people to the Secular Humanists of the Lowcountry.
