Professor Richard Dawkins, bestselling author of The God Delusion, is officially supporting the Atheist Bus Campaign, and has generously agreed to match all donations up to a maximum of £5,500, giving us a total of £11,000 if we reach the full amount – enough for a much bigger campaign. The British Humanist Association have kindly agreed to administer all donations.
With your help, we can brighten people’s days on the way to work, help raise awareness of atheism in the UK, and hopefully encourage more people to come out as atheists. We can also counter the religious adverts which are currently running on London buses, and help people think for themselves.
As Richard Dawkins says: “This campaign to put alternative slogans on London buses will make people think - and thinking is anathema to religion.”

Yup, it's very cool. Member Carolyn Hastings brought this up in our main page comments a couple of days ago, and I think I was the only one to respond to it...LOL
But it is a really great idea, but it would never ever fly here in the states, especially down here in the south where the bible belt would whip those ads right off of the buses...LOL
