Not really. Keep in mind that banning religious messages displayed in places where they are visible to all could easily backfire with a ban on secular messages as well. I realize that's a bit extreme, but If I want them to respect my rights, then I must respect theirs. The problem rests more in what we call rights than in the messages displayed.

The messages they put up on their own property and those they pay to have put up are not a problem when it comes to my rights. Remember, I have the right not to read them, just as they have the right not to read ours. Our concerns for such matters should be related to that separation of church and state.

If you want to have some fun, rent a billboard for your own message. Make it in good taste, but really offensive. See how that goes over.

I've become religiously jaded to the point of being annoyed not just with the signs in your face but the symbols also - as in people who have to wear their necklaces with the letter 't', ugh ...

I have six churches that I have to pass using any of the main roads in my area. So, yes, I also comprehend the frustration.

Sometimes I wish atheists would take out billboards as well so I could feel less supressed lol

I don’t pay any attention to them. I have better things in my life that’s worth worrying about and taking notice of.

I usually pay close attention to them, I find it Extreamly amusing when you see someone paying for a bilboard in as a or a hilarious accident. It restores my "faith" in humanity.

I don't care or bother, never complained of a burger king sign either. Not annoyed by street signs or stop signs. Not my church.... not bothered.

I recognize the right of free speech but since I live in the Houston area, I too feel better bombarded with mega churches. I feel a better use can be found for these huge structures. And they don't pay taxes.

I hate them too. And where I live they're everywhere. I don't know if I would go so far as to think of them as unconstitutional or have it be illegal, as long as other religions or signs arguing against religion are also permitted.

The 2nd church sign I see every day is a lifesize billboard of a bloody Jesus hanging on a cross ...do children need to see that ?

I get offended when every time I see a new one driving down the road I remind myself NONE of them any taxes!

Thank God I live in the UK . . . . . . . . . . . .. .(sorry couldn't resist the pun)

I don’t pay attention to them, I see them as no different than ads for restaurants, tourist attractions, stores, etc that I am not interested in.

Fortunately we don't get too many along the roadside in Victoria Australia, don't know about the other states but I doubt it. I have to share one classic on a road I regularly take with you all "Jesus' Second Coming is as certain as his first" - well, in the words of the old Diana Ross and The Supremes song..."I'm Still Waiting..."

No. I don't care for them either, but restrictions on speech are a slippery slope. Get over it.

No, they are protected as free expression. Overly protected, in fact, here in 'Murica. I don't even register them anymore, though. They are of no consequence.

I live in a small town with like 42 churches. I understand your frustration.

I would think so. Maybe someone can start a petition drive to get a law passed.

Yes, I'd say it violates our constitutional rights. Imagine if dozens of other religions had billboards up by the highways, promoting their mythology. Which might be what needs to happen so that Christians are forced to lose their special privileges.

Thanks everybody for your thoughts on this topic.
I'll try to clarify and expand somewhat . Firstly, I feel very , very Anarchistically inclined these days . So , no , I have little more respect or reverence
for ' the state ' as it exists than I do for the ruthless fairy tale religions themselves . So , I guess when ya have no respect for either it's hard to feel obliged to obey the rules or wishes of either . To be frankly honest , over the last few years I struggle with having given up on humanity VS really not wanting to do that ! It doesn't help that there's also a simultaneous struggle against giving up on notions of meaningful personal relationships as well and feeling that much of the perceived necessity for doing that appears to be due to the socially disruptive influences of the Theocratic combinations of the State and the religious cults upon the culture , local especially , but in culture's expanded dimensions as well . Personally , I generally see religions as psychological , personal and political predation
and I think that this is scientifically provable , as much as these sorts of things are provable through common sense , historical data , expert analysis , etc . Well beyond any reasonable doubt ! What's the solution ? I think there's likely not one except to vent about it occasionally, because of people being what modern people generally are ...selfish , shallow , busy , compromised . Are these millions of signs , hanging there everyday , of consequence ? I think that certainly they are influential and coercive to vulnerable minds , to persons being inclined to assimilate into what they are being sold as ' social norms ' . The imposed signs attempt to subliminally and directly plant thoughts of familiarity of cult values , dogma , doctrine , to lure socially deprived persons to seek real-world socialising in the most advertised social clubs in the community ... otherwise , options are few in the cult controlled community ! Churchian road signs are just one aspect of the cult's psychological impositions , yes , there are other methods , local radio , tv , press , etc . One can ignore that fine print and tune out those stations but one can't ' not know ' that these millions of large print roadway signs are 30 feet from involuntary traffic are attempts at proselytizing vulnerable human beings into a massive , destructive cult that ultimately combines to wage barbarous wars on other cults all over the world just as a matter of territorialism determined solely by their imaginary deity . Of course individuals should have our rights to free speech but these institutions are ' not ' individuals !

They are only preaching to the converted. I don’t even notice them.

The small signs and marquee signs give me something to laugh/scoff at while I'm driving. The insanely oversized crosses like the one next to I70 near the Illinois-Indiana border that annoy me.

Alas they are all protected by the 1st amendment here in the U.S. and we're all free to annoy or make fools of ourselves thanks to it.
