There is a spreading campaign of humanist/atheist/agnostic mass advertising, on billboards and most lately buses, to try to raise awareness that it’s okay not to believe in a god—that if you don’t, you’re not alone; you can (and should) still be a good person, and, basically, you should just chill out. The American Humanist Association’s holiday campaign asked, “Why believe in a god? Just be good for goodness’ sake,” while the ads in the recent campaign in Britain say, “There’s probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life.” 
I’m of two minds about the ads. I think it’s important to let people who don’t believe in a god know that they have a community too, and that belief or non-belief in a god doesn’t make you a good or bad person. There are lots of people who don’t believe in a god, or who aren’t sure but doubt it…

Special to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch

If you google “Christianity,” this definition is one of the most common image results displayed on several sites. As we enter the Christmas season, I am reminded that many people in St. Louis and around the world do not believe that Christianity is true. While Christmas historically was meant to focus on Jesus Christ, I am well aware that many people do not believe many things that the Bible teaches. I would love to know why? What are your objections to Christianity?
If you could ask God directly to answer your most confusing or difficult issues/questions about Christianity what would they be?
What are the things you find hard to believe or accept about Christianity, in general? What major complaints/issues do you have with Christians and the Church in general?
Civil, serious, and honest answers are welcomed and encouraged!! I only want to listen and will offer no comments in the comment thread…
