There's probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life

The atheist:

"Even on the buses, nobody thinks twice when they see a religious slogan plastered across the side."

The religious pressure group:

Bendy-buses, like atheism, are a danger to the public at large.

A different religious group:

This campaign will be a good thing if it gets people to engage with the deepest questions of life.

Part of me thinks this is a good move - its true that religion and churches essentially "advertise" themselves, this is just a look from the other direction.

Not too sure what the adverts will achieve but if it starts some discussions about religion then that can only be a good thing.

The wellbeing of my eternal soul after Death is very low on the list of things I worry about anyway. Well below being hit by a bus in fact.

Maybe chucking some of that money at a road safety campaign would be a better use for it.

But thanks for your concern anyway Professor Dawkins

I've got to be honest and say I don't notice that much religious advertising (although they do give out sweets round here when they stop you sometimes) but if a bunch of atheists want to put messages on buses then so be it. However as I've said before when trying to differentiate yourself from a group simply mirroring their actions doesn't strike me as the most logical way to do it. If you want to emphasise the differences then steer clear of the tactics you profess to despise, don't emulate them.

Although I pay no attention to any religious advertising, I doubt I'd have paid this any more attention than your standard stuff tbh.

I don't think I've ever noticed any religious advertising, except around religious buildings.

I must admit I'm more insulted by adverts saying 'there probably is no God' than stuff outside churches

When I win the lottery, I'll do an advert simply stating 'Believe in whatever you choose to believe in, just don't go pushing it on other people'
Although I wonder if that'd be hypocritical as I'd be pushing my belief in believing in whatever you choose to believe in.......*ponders till her head explodes*

I prefer being a hypogriff than a hypocrite
