Advertising campaign for Jesus, what do you think of this? (Link included)

Asked by HumourMe (1931points) December 18th, 2009

I have a lot of strong negative opinions of this but I would like to hear what your thoughts are.

They now even have a “Jesus Racing” car team.

Isn’t this exactly the opposite of what should be happening in society? That is, not advertising religion or forcing views on other people? (I consider all advertising to be of a forcing nature in general) I suspect this campaign will grow and increase it’s prominence in society.

Is this just a backlash to the ever growing number of atheists and agnostics rejecting religion and Christianity in particular? The number of people affiliated with a particular organized religion has decreased over the years. Do you think they are just trying to recruit more followers to Christianity because of the this?
