DENVER — We first told you about them last week and now they’re here. Eleven billboards in have gone up in metro Denver and Colorado Springs that question the existence of God.

“It simply reaches out to people who have no belief in God and are feeling isolated by the religious world around them,” said Marvin Straus, co-founder of the Boulder Atheists.
“I’ve had feedback from people who thought it denigrated Christians. Totally untrue. It doesn’t talk about Christians, or Muslims, or Hindus or any religion. It’s specifically addressed to the non-believer.”
