An amusing campaign by atheists to get across the message

The main slogan of the atheist campaign is: “There’s probably no God. No you should stop worrying and enjoy life.”
The campaign was originally thought up by comedy writer Ariane Sherine as an antidote to a fervent campaign by a religious group which was posted on the side of buses. It has since snowballed becoming more and more popular and enjoying the support of atheist philosopher Richard Dawkins and the British Humanist Association.
Speaking at the launch of the campaign in central London, Ms Sherine said: "This is a great day for freedom of speech in Britain.



“I'm really excited and thrilled that the adverts have been approved and I hope that they will make people smile on their way to work.

"I am very glad that we live in a country where people have the freedom to believe in whatever they want."
So popular has the message been that the campaign has already raised nearly £150,000, meaning that posters bearing its message have found their way onto 600 buses in Scotland, England and Wales and 200 bendy buses in London.
This will be followed with another 1,000 posters being put up on the London Underground.
However the attempts to implement similar campaigns in the rest of the world have not gone as smoothly.
In Australia the country’s biggest outdoor advertising agency APN Outdoor rejected a slogan inspired by the British campaign which read: “Atheism – sleep in on Sunday mornings.”

In response, David Nicholls, president of the Atheist Foundation of Australia, said: "I am flabbergasted. This is extremely disappointing and a severe blow to freedom of expression in Australia.
"Australia is going to look provincial and narrow in outlook to the rest of the world because of this decision.
“The planet is moving to a more enlightened era but apparently, public transport advertising agents in Australia have missed the bus."

There were also objections in Barcelona from the Catholic Church who branded the campaign as an attack on all religions.

But with an estimated 20% of the Spanish population being atheist it looks as though the move will go ahead anyway, and spread to other Spanish cities such as Barcelona and Valencia.
The slogan will translate as “Probablemente Dios no existe. Deja de preocuparte y goza de la vida."
