Atheist bus slogans
There's been loads of adverts for evangelical groups on public transport lately, which lead to websites telling you you're all going to hell. Therefore please donate to the atheist advertising campaign!
You love it you slags

But agree with this in principal

And I've been accosted by the evangelicals in south london, they were trying to convince me that intelligent design was correct.
Morons, the lot of them.

Bad luck
I'm the other side of the river and simply tell superstitious people to get the fuck out of my face if they try to preach their crap at me

Have you read the message?
It's hardly a call to arms.

It's subtext seems to be simply to
wind up the religious, though. The statement is rather one of "we are right, you are wrong" (although a true atheist shouldn't really use the word 'probably' in "there is probably no god".)
Everyone else will see the message and think "Yeah, I know that already".
I can't help but think there are more important causes and that provoking people is not a good way of changing their opinions.

An atheist will say "there is probably no god"
An antitheist will say "there is no god"
Atheism is simply lack of belief.

What's an agnostic, then?
I thought an atheist didn't believe and an antitheist had a problem with other people's beliefs.

Agnostics are often atheists who don't like using the word atheist because they wrongly think it entails a set of beliefs.

That
doesn't define a difference between the two words, though.

An agnostic believes that it is impossible to know whether there is a God.
As for atheism, the word is a simple contruction - 'a' = without, 'theism' = belief in the existence of a god or gods.

Those who do not know
Means "without knowledge" from the Greek.
Coined by Charles Darwin, I hear.

I always thought it was...
Agnostic - "God? hmmmm, maybe"
Atheist - "God? pfffft, yea right"
Anti-theist - "God? DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

The word "probably"
is only there to keep the ASA happy. Personally I'd say "almost certainly" but there are rules about what you can say on bus ads apparently.

Of course he hasn't read it
this is ewe. He likes to wade in blindly where no-one else dares, shouting "fascist" or "racist!"
The headline mentions atheists, so they must be doing something really crypto-fascist man.

Great idea.
But what happens when the religious start protesting and demand they be taken down after one day? You know it'll happen.

I look forward to finding out!
That would be a most interesting shitstorm that probably needs to happen. Not to mention a handy way to invoke the Streisand Effect.
