An anti-religion group is taking advantage of Florida's battered economy by launching a low-budget billboard blitz.

"To be honest, the price was right," says Annie Laurie Gaylor, co-president of the Wisconsin-based Freedom From Religion Foundation. "We got some special rates that made it affordable to get our message out."

That message is going up this week on 20 billboards in locations throughout Tampa and St. Petersburg. They include: The face of a penny with the inscription "In Reason We Trust"; "Imagine No Religion"; "God and Government: A Dangerous Mix"; and "Sleep in on Sundays."
