Atheism On The Buses

I didn't quite know what to make of it when I saw that an extensive advertising campaign was being undertaken to announce that God might not exist. I thought the slogan was curious: "There's probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life." The campaign is led by atheists, who surely believe that there is in fact no God? So this speculative statement seems a little uncharacteristic. Anyway, as I read on I found myself agreeing with the theology think tank Theos: "The posters will encourage people to consider the most important question we will ever face in our lives." Interesting stuff all round I guess. A similar US campaign ran in November with "Why believe in a god? Just be good for goodness' sake" as their slogan. Maybe there isn't a God, and if not, the above sentiments are noble. I think it's the uncertainty that keeps it all interesting...
