The British Humanist Association (BHA) said four large advertisements went up in London, Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast with the slogan “Please Don’t Label Me. Let me grow up and choose for myself”.
It would seem that the varied and expansive indoctrination of children within the media, education and commercialist systems, are fine, as long as it has no positive reference to God. Not all indoctrination is equal it would seem, within the Humanist world view.
There is of course an advertising ‘fight-back’ campaign, check out the ChurchAds Website
If you have stumbled onto this blog and are not a Christian, get yourself a hot drink, pull up a comfy chair and then tuck into the following article written by one of the best in the business:- All Of Grace by Charles SpurgeonBillboard posters were put up in London in the latest round in the advertising war between atheists and Christians.
The British Humanist Association (BHA) said four large advertisements went up in London, Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast with the slogan “Please Don’t Label Me. Let me grow up and choose for myself”.
The London poster features two children and each of the others features one child, all appearing against a backdrop of “shadowy” descriptions such as Catholic, Protestant, Muslim, Hindu or Sikh.
The organisers said these were mixed in with other labels that people would “never apply” to young children, such as Marxist, Anarchist, Socialist, Libertarian or Humanist.
The campaign comes after a £140,000 atheist advertising campaign on British buses and on the London Underground was launched in January with the slogan: “There’s probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life.”
The poster drive in January sparked a series of retaliatory campaigns by Christian groups.
Ariane Sherine, creator of the original bus campaign, said: “One of the issues raised again and again by donors to the campaign was the issue of children having the freedom to grow up and decide for themselves what they believe, and that we should not label children with any ideology.
“I hope this poster campaign will encourage the Government, media and general public to see children as individuals, free to make their own choices, and accord them the liberty and respect they deserve.”
The BHA said the billboards were unveiled to coincide with Universal Children’s Day on Friday.
Atheist campaigner Richard Dawkins, the BHA vice president, said: “Nobody would seriously describe a tiny child as a ‘Marxist child’ or an ‘anarchist child’ or a ‘post-modernist child’. Yet children are routinely labelled with the religion of their parents.”

This is merely more atheist propaganda as Richard Dawkins wonders whether there is occasion for “society stepping in” and hopes that such efforts “might lead children to choose no religion at all.” Dawkins also supports the atheist summer camp “Camp Quest.”
Phillip Pullman states the following about his “fictional” books for children, “I don’t think I’m writing fantasy. I think I’m writing realism. My books are psychologically real.” But what does he really write about? As he has admitted, “My books are about killing God” and “I’m trying to undermine the basis of Christian belief.”

Yet again, atheists are collecting “amazing sums” during a time of worldwide recession not in order to help anyone in real material need but in order to attempt to demonstrate just how clever they consider themselves to be—while actually loudly, proudly and expensively demonstrating their ignorance and arrogance—need any more be said?
