This morning, the future of the Hebrew billboard reaching out to closeted atheists in the Orthodox Jewish community was uncertain, but it looks like American Atheists found a home for it:

The atheists had to settle for placing the billboard above the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway near Meeker Avenue — about a mile and a half north of the Hasidic enclave in South Williamsburg.
…
David Silverman, the president of American Atheists, denied that the billboards were intended to be provocative. “It’s not provocation for Coke to advertise in a Pepsi area; it’s advertising,” he said…
…
… [Rabbi David] Niederman told The Brooklyn Paper that the sign was “inappropriate” and that the atheists were a “group of crazies” who had “lost their purpose in life.”
Mr. Silverman said that these billboards were only the beginning.
“The tapestry of atheism in America is rich and beautiful,” he said. “America can look forward to multiple billboards in multiple communities.”
The sign is placed pretty high up there… So it can’t possibly get vandalized, right?
