Billboards promoting atheism and agnosticism are being displayed in Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Columbus as part of a national campaign to raise awareness about people who don't believe in God.
The messages, printed against a background of blue sky and fluffy clouds, states: "Don't believe in God? You are not alone.""The point of the national billboard campaign is to reach out to the millions of humanists, atheists, and agnostics living in the United States," said Fred Edwords, national director of the United Coalition of Reason. "Nontheists sometimes don't realize there's a community out there for them because they're inundated with religious messages at every turn."
The bishop has questioned publicly whether Mr. Kennedy can call himself a Catholic, given that in the health care debate, the congressman initially voted against tighter restrictions on abortion.
BEARS ROCKS, Pa. - The leader of a western Pennsylvania church is settling a federal lawsuit by pulling the plug on jam band concerts he says were religious services.
William Pritts sued Fayette County in 2006, saying zoning restrictions that stopped the concerts years before violated the religious freedom of his Church of Universal Love and Music.
The church agreed in a March settlement not to tolerate drug law violations in return for permission to hold 12 concerts a year. But a federal judge temporarily banned the concerts after 22 people were arrested on drug charges at an August concert on Mr. Pritts' farm, about 35 miles southeast of Pittsburgh.
The court agreement to permanently ban the concerts was filed late Monday.
Mr. Pritts has said he plans to move the church to another county.
