The Washington D.C.-based organization is erecting what they term "Godless billboards" in Cincinnati, Columbus and Cleveland to let non-believers know they aren't alone and to announce the creation of local Coalition of Reason chapters where non-believers can meet like-minded people. The http://www.CinCor.org link takes users to the Cincinnati chapter's page. The chapter is actually a coalition of several groups in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky that "advocate science and reason as more reliable sources of knowledge than dogma and faith," according to the release.

The national group has run 10 prior billboard campaigns across the country. In Chicago and New Jersey billboards asked "Are you good without God? Millions are." Transit buses in Des Moines, Iowa carried the same message as the Cincinnati sign.
