Graphic design on atheist billboards

A mini-debate is underway in atheist circles as to the usefulness of graphic design in billboard ads.

Friendly Atheist is probably the most popular atheist blog out there and Nonprophet Status is a newer atheist blog that promotes interfaith dialogue and attempts to distance itself from the combative rhetoric of folks like Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens. The debate is split along these lines, pitting a “new atheist” perspective against a more inclusive approach.
