"Just be good for goodness' sake."
That's the ad campaign launched in Washington, D.C., by the American Humanity Association.

It is the explanatory power a worldview has to justify and make sense of morality, good and evil. It's the question often raised by theists to atheists in debates and most often the question is either misunderstood or the terms are changed. And that's what's going on in this ad once again. (more)
