Atheist, smut, christianpress.comAtheist Agenda, a group of college students from the University of Texas at San Antonio, recently conducted a “Smut for Smut” campaign in which members offered students pornography in exchange for Bibles. Leaders of the group say religious texts contain violence, spark wars, advocate for the mistreatment of women and are therefore no better than pornography. Despite some protests from Christian students, university officials say the group has the right to conduct the swap because it is not violating any laws and has the right to free speech and to assemble.

"Smut for Smut" began in 2005 when students were offered free pornographic magazines in exchange for Bibles, Torahs, Korans and other sacred texts, according to The San Antonio Express-News. The first Bible for porn campaign became national news and prompted debate between conservatives and college administrators.

“It's a First Amendment right,” said Bradley Lewis, 18, who plans to join the Atheist Agenda, according to the San Antonio Express-News. “If religious groups can put out missionaries and go knock on my door and wake me up at 7 a.m. on a Saturday morning, I can put a table outside of the college.”

This year, organizers said a group of Christians amassed to protest the event, and one protester ripped a sign from someone's hands. But police kept a watchful gaze over students involved in heated debates, and did not report any violence.
