The British Humanist Association (BHA) have today launched their £140,000 campaign questioning the existence of God. The slogan “There’s probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life” will be emblazoned upon the side of 600 buses in England, Wales & Scotland, 200 of the infamous “bendy” buses in central London and within the London Underground. The £140,000 was raised primarily through fund raising as the BHA exceeded their initial estimated total within 24 hours of launching the campaign. The campaign is backed by atheists such as Richard Dawkins (writer of “The God Delusion”) and comedy writer Ariane Sherine, who initiated the campaign via The Guardian’s “Comment Is Free” website.

I’m not a fan of being preached to about religious issues, but feel that this isn’t really the most appropriate way of going about showing opposition to those sort of campaigns; at least they used the word “probably”, otherwise all hell would have broken loose. Watch out for the Christian comeback.
