BROOKLYN — An atheism-boosting billboard in Hebrew and English that went up Monday near the Brooklyn approach to the Williamsburg Bridge, reading, “You know it’s a myth, and you have a choice,” got negative reviews Monday from people in the community.
Williamsburg is home to one of the most stringently Orthodox communities in the U.S., the Satmar Hasidim. The group that sponsored the billboard, American Atheists, also put up a similar sign in a heavily Muslim area of Paterson, N.J.
