American Atheists: 'Skip Church This Christmas!'

The American Atheists' organization is once again encouraging people to have a "merrier" Christmas by skipping church this year. 

The group's national program director Nick Fish told KSLA-TV their goal is to "stir the pot." It's something they do every Christmas.

"Part of stirring the pot is getting that conversation going," Fish said.

One of the billboards from the atheist group is a parody of President-elect Donald Trump's campaign slogan, saying: "Make Christmas Great Again....skip church." 

"You don't have to be religious, you don't have to believe in God to be a good person," Fish said. 

The displays can be seen from Louisiana to Colorado, even in downtown Georgia. 

"We celebrate Christmas pretty much the same way everyone else does," Fish said. "We have a tree. We give gifts. We have big meal. We hang out with the people that we love." 

"Those things have nothing to do with religion. Christianity and religion do not have a monopoly on having a great meal and spending time with people you love," he added. 

The atheist group says their billboards will be up until the end of the month.
