Western Colorado Atheists and Freethinkers (WCAF), the western slope’s longest-established secular organization, is running a billboard in the 2025 winter season to let people know there is an atheist group in Mesa County.
The digital billboard will be up throughout December, 2025 on 25 Road where you exit the Riverside Parkway to head north on 25 Road.
WCAF was established in 2007 to provide a voice for atheists on the western slope
Western Colorado Atheists and Freethinkers was established in 2007 to give a voice to atheists and other nonreligious western slope residents. WCAF also serves as a watchdog for separation of church and state locally. The group has a page on their website where people can report violations of separation of church and state.
WCAF successfully fought mandatory student participation in religious high school baccalaureates, awarded a $4,325 scholarship to a Delta High School student who exposed the Christian proselytizing in Delta County public schools, prevailed in a fight over on-campus Bible giveaways at Colorado Mesa University (CMU), successfully stopped CMU from forcing nursing students to accept Bibles at their pinning ceremonies, pushed the City of Grand Junction to allow anyone, not just religious people, to offer invocations at City Council meetings, donated money to the Food Bank of the Rockies, held road cleanups, exposed the anti-atheist bias of long-time former Grand Junction Area Chamber of Commerce President Diane Schwenke, and much more.
The group holds meetings monthly, usually at a local coffee bar. You can also connect with WCAF and follow the group on their Facebook page.
WCAF has run other billboards throughout the years. Here are a few:
