It would appear that the strong Latter Day Saints presence in Utah has exacerbated the divide between people who do not share faiths in Salt Lake City.  Their particular brand of Christianity (which I find even more bizarre than the other varieties) is rather extreme in its subjugation of women & homosexuals.  Aspects of daily life are intruded upon by the Church & many city ordinances & state laws cater to the organization.  Advertising on television, in print ads, & on billboards is common & a vital element in their proselytizing mission to convert others.
These atheists pictured are using the small amount of media they possess to send a message that Utah is not just for the flock of cultists  who follow Joseph Smith & Brigham Young.  They represent the idea that majority rule is unacceptable & dissent will ensue if pressure to conform becomes too intrusive to ignore.
A therapy group for rational people in the final frontier of religious absurdism.
They meet for coffee every Thursday night.

Civilization, it is immediately apparent, is simply organized resistance to oxidation.

Hugh Aldersey-Williams (Periodic Tales: The Curious Lives of the Elements)

… and continued:

Oxidation betrays the march of time and the inevitable triumph of entropy. The gas gives life, and in doing so brings death closer.”
