The Battle of the Tunnel

Commuters using the Lincoln Tunnel connecting New York City to New Jersey have been subjected this month to a battle of billboards. On the New Jersey side is a billboard sponsored by Atheists advocating for their view. On the New York side is a billboard described as sponsored by Theists advocating their view. Actually on the New York side is a billboard sponsored by Catholics advocating Christianity. Isn't it strange how people lump all people of faiths together? The fact is that in certain ways, I, as a Jew, find myself having more in common with the Atheists.

In this recent Jewish Tribune article, I develop this idea. See, further,
