American Atheists, one of the nation's largest secular groups, has released its Christmas 2016 billboard ad campaigns in which it uses President-elect Donald Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan to encourage young people to skip church.

Make Christmas Great Again — keep Christ at the center

December 9, 2016

By Franklin Graham

Have you ever heard the old saying “Misery loves company?”

That’s what this atheist billboard made me think of.

These people are anti-God, and they want others to miss out on the joy of Christmas as well. They are blind to the truth of Christmas—which is God showing His great love for us by sending a Savior, His Son Jesus Christ.

Christmas isn’t about Santa Claus or Jingle Bells.

So let’s make Christmas great again this year—by attending church and by keeping Christ at the center.

Are you in?
