(MYFOX NATIONAL) - A billboard in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., is causing some controversy.
The ad, posted by the Florida Atheists and Secular Humanists group, states, "Being a good person doesn't require God" and "Don't believe in God? You're not alone."
People in the neighborhood are now trying to get it removed. “When you have something like this here, people don't want to come and patronize us anymore," Theodore Hamilton, an employee at a nearby business, told WSVN news. "We don't agree with this. We don't like this here in our community, and this is a spiritual-based community."
On the Florida Atheists' Web site, the group states, "The purpose of the sign is 1. to advertise FLASH and let others know there is a group for them and 2. raise public awareness that they have been lied to about who atheists really are. Another case of "cherry picking" Bible verses to support their bigotry."

WICHITA, Kan. – Dr. George Tiller, one of the nation's few providers of late-term abortions despite decades of protests and attacks, was shot and killed Sunday in a church where he was serving as an usher.
The gunman fled, but a 51-year-old suspect was detained some 170 miles away in suburban Kansas City three hours after the shooting, Wichita Deputy Police Chief Tom Stolz said.
Although Stolz refused to release the man's name, Johnson County sheriff's spokesman Tom Erickson identified the detained man as Scott Roeder. He has not been charged in the slaying and was expected to be taken to Wichita for questioning.
There was no immediate word of the motive Tiller's assailant. But the doctor's violent death was the latest in a string of shootings and bombings over two decades directed against abortion clinics, doctors and staff.
