As if trying to negotiate the traffic wasn't hard enough, drivers coming into New York City via the Lincoln Tunnel are getting caught up in a battle of beliefs.

First, an anti-Christmas billboard was set up by the American Atheists outside a New Jersey entrance to the tunnel.

Now, the Catholic League has countered by putting up its own billboard near one of the tunnel's New York City entrances.

The atheist billboard says, "You know it's a myth. This season, celebrate reason!" The Catholic billboard counters: "You know it's real. This season, celebrate Jesus."

Both billboards will be up for at least the next couple of weeks.
