Atheist Bus Ad Campaign


God may move in mysterious ways but atheists take the bus. In a move which will hopefully infuriate the evangelically religious a campaign has begun to to raise money to put ads on London buses to counteract several campaigns currently run by Christian groups.

Richard Dawkins, the prominent atheist, has promised to match all donations up to 5,500 pounds. I have donated. Despite only running for less than a day they have raised nearly 50,000 pounds on a target of 5,500 so already hugely successful. It cost 5,500 pounds to run the ads on thirty buses for one month. I hope this spreads globally. If you have been in London and seen the original ads you will realise they are rubbish unlike the cheery message of the atheists' ads.
