This sign pisses me off. Just because I can live without religion I’m gonna end up like Stalin? Wow…just wow

My question is, when will they have a billboard up with all the people who have done evil in the name of God? 

Btw, I’m not claiming to be atheist, nor am I claiming to be a Christian.  

So by this logic, I’m going to end up like Stalin, or even worse, Hitler? Yeah, sorry Alabama, not gonna scare me into religion.

Stalin imagined a world with no religion.
Stalin caused the deaths of millions of people.
Therefore all atheists are mass-murderers.

This is a brilliant example of affirming the consequent, a piece of fallacy employed worldwide with people who replaced their brains with cream cheese shortly before joining the advertisement industry. It’s a great tactic because it creates ominous and dramatic statements that worry people who aren’t that used to critical thinking, while proving to everyone who is that you shouldn’t have been let loose with a crayon, let alone a sixty-foot billboard.
