“Ghana’s greatest enemy in the progress of science and technological advancement is religion.”
“There is little space for intellectual conversations and critical thinking.”
“Humanism emphasizes the value of all human beings regardless of gender and promotes wellbeing of people.”
“We all need to work together to achieve positive and progressive change in Africa.”
“This is a dream come true.”
“This billboard represents not just visibility, but validation for those who often feel isolated in their nonbelief.”
“Why not use billboards to spread the word?”
“People should know that atheism exists and that it is a valid worldview.”
“We are not alone. There are other Ghanaians like us.”
“I have a community, I’m safe, I know I’m not crazy.”
“What had happened to Mubarak could have happened to any of us.”
“We need to come together, especially those of us who are a bit more privileged.”
“The goal was for others to follow suit.”
“We are simply existing in our own space.”
“Visibility matters.”
“Both atheism and humanism share a core principle: rejecting supernatural ideas.”
“We should not sugarcoat it or beat around the bush.”
“Humanism does not need to sound religious or be connected to religious traditions. It is not.”
“If someone says they are a Humanist, people should automatically assume they are a secular Humanist.”
“That should be the mainstream definition, and any other interpretation should be considered fringe.”
“This effort by American fundamentalists and far-right evangelical Christian groups… will not be tolerated.”
“Homophobia was foreign to Africans until colonization and here we are again with history repeating itself.”
“This reeks of imperialism and a total disregard of human rights.”
“We need to continue to harness the skills of our members and empower them.”
“From awareness straight into action.”
