Interesting Selectivity: The God Movie Attacking Only Christianity in Ads
The Dawkins-esque movie advertised often here at TPMCafe, the one that does sacrilege in abusing a holy icon of Christ, seems only to attack the Christian faith. I wonder why we do not see ads attacking Judaism, since it is the root Theistic religion from which Christians confess their own belief in God?
Or why do the ads not alternate, in all of their all-knowing pride, in attacking each and every religion on the earth? For example, the ad could side with the Communist People's Republic of China and reinforce its argument of the irrationality of the Tibetan people and their Buddhist dignity and courage in standing for freedom. There was a genocidal proportion of killing done against Tibetans, chiefly against their religion and its forms of spirituality.
What is it about hyper-political ideologues, partisans and frustrated atheist professors who must attack everyone else's beliefs in God to sustain their own faith that there is no God?

Ads here are called up by keywords, and also directed at an expected demographic. Since Judaism is quite the minority religion in the US why discuss it? No revenue there.

You are following the gist of my point: that the motive isn't to understand, but to cram atheist dogma down people's throats with a fraudulent cloak of science. It is done to leverage some commodity...power, money or influence over the shape of society, culture and government.
An atheist vision of government isn't separation of church and state, it is animosity toward religion by state. It is a perspective is theist and religionist reactionary, and as such doesn't offer a church/state separation possibility. Reaction to religion is in the religious spectrum, and purging it is contrary to the plain meaning of the First Amendment.

Well, Mr. Woodson, you could perhaps get an ad-blocking plugin for your web browser.
As an aside, not believing in a deity is not an action. It is the default state of being. Believing in something requires effort. There are no 'atheists', Mr. Woodson. Just theists like you and regular folks like me.

I guess regular folks just pass judgment rather than standing in the mocassins of those they pass judgment on, including the canard that believing takes effort but not believing doesn't.

Ad blocking software wouldn't rid the public square of the significant bigotry of the selective anti-religion.
