–11 Cleveland and Akron, Ohio, billboards introduce area atheists and agnostics to the community.
–The Freedom From Religion Foundation has announced the special ‘Nothing Fails Like Prayer’ award contest for the best secular invocation at a government meeting.
–The Freedom from Religion Foundation becomes ‘unglued’ when the Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, public utility noted on their website that their offices would be closed for the Good Friday holiday.
–The first atheist TV channel debuts this summer via the Internet.
–The organization known as Black Atheists of America is trying to raise awareness of atheism within the African-American community.
