I'm sorry,
I don't get your point. I didn't see those adverts, but as far as I am concerned, people will not suddenly not believe in God or Jesus Christ as the Messiah purely as a result of an advert. And I also believe the opposite is true.

Whilst this is probably true
It doesn't take into account the dialogue that has begun about advertising religion, which was possibly the point in the first place. I don't want any view pressed upon me, thank you very much.
I love the etiquette the ASA had to use in order to inoffensively point out that *both* sides don't have any imperical proof of their opinions, hence rendering both arguements useless.
Bu tthe person up there making the 'lion on the loose' analogy has it precisely right - if ou can't prove it either way, stop advertising opinion as fact altogether.
That is all.

I totally agree.
If you read through my first comment, I stated that I don't agree with Christian advertising either, and I am a Christian.

My point was a Christian campaign has already happened...
...and this whole Atheist campaign is nothing but a reactionary stunt.

So you're saying 2 wrongs make a right?
Well I don't believe that to be the case. As I stated, I don't believe in Christian advertising either. However, what this has done is not bring to the fore the opinion that christians, muslims, jews, whoever can't advertise, it has just made the carte blanche a lot bigger by setting such a public precedent.
