In late 2008, the FFRF began sponsoring the display of anti-Christian signs on and in Madison, Wisconsin, buses. These signs included quotations from famous atheists like Emily Dickinson, Mark Twain and Richard Dawkins.<ref>http://badgerherald.com/news/2009/02/25/new_anti-religion_ad.php</ref> This sign campaign was inspired by a similar campaign begun in Europe.
