Billboard in Orange County
"It is hard for people who are indoctrinated in a religious belief with many superstitions to look at their beliefs as myths," said Bruce Gleason, Backyard Skeptics founder and fearless leader. "but it's amazing that the same people look at other religions and call them superstitions and myths. This seems like a perfect case of confirmation bias and cognitive dissonance.
"The billboard is meant to have others who believe to compare others myths to their own beliefs and to reflect on how myths can be thought of as real," he said.
Below the billboard are the web addresses for the Fountain Valley-based group, BackyardSkeptics.com and Cranford, NJ-based AmericalAtheists.org.
