“This shows loud and clear just how necessary our message is, because prejudice against people who don’t believe in a god remains very real in America.”

said Rachael Harrington, coordinator of Sacramento CoR.

“Now we are more committed than ever to the cause of making our presence known.”

Harrington added.

The United Coalition of Reason has asked Clear Channel, the owner of the billboard, to file a police report. Meanwhile, Clear Channel has indicated that it will replace the billboard free of charge.
