Christian journalist Karen Hunter has stumbled on the perfect way to make atheists and agnostics feel more accepted in American society:
“They don’t have a good – marketing,†she said. “If they had hallmark cards, maybe they wouldn’t feel so left out. We have Christmas cards. We have Kwanza cards now. Maybe they need to get some atheist cards and get that whole ball rolling so more people can get involved with what they’re doing. I think they need to shut up and let people do what they do. No, I think they need to shut up about it.â€
While the idea lost some steam when she told non-believers to “shut up”, she may have been onto something. Greeting cards are an ideal Trojan horse for controversial ideas because the receiver usually doesn’t have their defenses up. And when not masterfully propagating the Godless Secular Agenda, athiests can communicate their feelings in uniquely blasphemous ways.
Really, there are endless possibilities when it comes to atheist Hallmark cards:
Just saying “hi”: “Hi. There is no God. You’ve been living a lie.”
For the holidays: “Have a tolerable December while Christians are trying to be total dicks to you.”
Hospital visits: “I’m glad you survived your surgery. Otherwise, you would have ceased to exist for all time.”
Apology: “Sorry I told you to go to Hell. You know I don’t believe such a place exists.”
Inspirational: “If Richard Dawkins can do it, so can you.”
