I'm not offended at the signs at all as a Christian, but I can't help but wonder why atheists would need to try so hard to convince others to agree with their belief that there is no God? If there is no God and everyone creates their own reason and purpose for life, and we can all do whatever we want, and won't answer to any higher supernatural power, and are all going to the same place (nowhere) when we die, then what does it matter if someone else agrees with you?
It seems like a double standard to say when Christians are out witnessing and sharing their beliefs with others and trying to convert them. But if there is a God, and the possibility of hell is a real one, then obviously its easy to justify trying to convert otheres - you don't want to see them suffer eternal damnation.
But if there is no God, then what does it matter what others think? We don't push our opinions on our favourite ice cream. In an atheistic world then, the topic of religion has - or at least should have - exactly the same relevance.
