The Creationists vs. The Atheists - they both want you!
As the holiday season approaches, the next round of billboards will be kicking off.
Billboards aren't cheap; wonder how much the religious and anti-religion organizations pay for these advertising campaigns?

Wonder if anyone's ever had their religious beliefs turned upside down by a billboard? Doubt it.
Bet it's a lot like political elections in the US - the majority will vote for the same party they always vote for, no matter what information is presented. The advertising investment and debates pay-off most with the undecideds.
Personally, I know a lot more people who have pulled away from religion than dived more deeply into it. A couple of jumpers too - going from one to the next (looking for the best spiritual fit, I guess). Don't know if that's representative of the population, just something that struck me when I was checking out some of the billboards.
