A couple of comments: The slogan is the brainchild of the British Humanist Association (BHA), an atheist organization that seeks to promote a world without religion where people are free to live good lives on the basis of reason, experience and shared human values.
Serious question: What does the word "good" mean to an atheist?A report by the United Nations, released earlier this year, found that two-thirds of Britons admit they have no religious affiliation. And a BBC poll last year found that four in five people believe Britain is in moral decline.
Could there possibly be a connection between these two statistics?

London buses may soon be plastered with ads proclaiming Theres probably no God, if a British atheist group has its way. Britain: where even the atheists don't have solid convictions.

God is no doubt devastated by this.
I am now at the point where I find I can only pray that His will be done when it comes to these people. I used to pray that their hearts would open but it looks like they are impenetrably armored against divine influence and utterly determined to reduce everyone else to their own level of ignorance.

“shared human values”
Based on which culture?
Homosexuality has been universally considered immoral for thousands of years and yet it is now “acceptable” because of a small but influential campaign by those who participate in the act.

We already hear the advocates on the Left pushing for abortion and non-consensual euthenasia when it isn’t “a quality life”. So that is an indication of where not living the good life can take you.
And yet, among it all, people in prison with a life sentence are never found to no longer have a “quality” lifestyle.

I never got that. If there’s no God, there’s no reason. Nothing matters so who cares how you act?

The UN should ask Saudis how many of them are muslim by free choice and how many are forced to follow the faith under penalty of death.

And people wonder why England is headed down the toilet.
Proclaiming “no God” is idiotic.
What is needed is for England to reclaim it’s traditional culture, patriotism and values. I wonder when that movement will start?

With respects to Thomas Jefferson, I tremble to think about not only God's justice, but the fact that yesterday, today, and forever God's Glory, Holiness, Love, and His Eternal Nature so vastly overwhelms the pathetic bleating of the "no God" crowd.

Someone should post ads reading “There’s probably no reality outside your own mind”. After all, there’s no more evidence of the existence of objective reality than there is for the existence of God.
Sigh. Materialists. These “if I cain’t poke it with a stick, it ain’t real” types almost never have any grasp of even the most basic philosophy.

The slogan is the brainchild of the British Humanist Association (BHA), an atheist organization that seeks to promote a world without religion where people are free to live good lives on the basis of reason, experience and shared human values.

The slogan is the brainchild of the British Humanist Association (BHA), an atheist organization that seeks to promote a world without religion where people are free to live good lives on the basis of reason, experience and shared human values. The first reasonable thing to do if you accept their premise would be to kill everyone that disagrees with you politically, especially if they are leftists. They are logically a threat to your well being and life.
Next would be to euthanize all sub-par humans, as they are a drag on society and oneself. Actually "euthanize" implies some humane methodology. It doesn't really matter how its done if there is no God. Who really cares, just kill them. Of course some inferiors might want to be kept around to serve their new masters. SPARTA!!!
Its flattering that atheists usually pick Christian morals as being "correct", but its hardly logical from a self-preservation point of view. Survival of the fittest and to hell with the rest.
There is some logic to pretending to be honest, etc. to fool the gullible, but you can't actually justify being honest if it comes at any ultimate personal expense. After all, no God means that you're nothing but recycled dung with a very short shelf life.
Awe what a utopia a world without God would be... Logical annihilation without remorse or pity.

I wonder how this will go over with the Muslim population in Britain... probably with spectacular results.
On a side note, ‘there PROBABLY is no God?’ I find that incredibly amusing, not to mention that it’s not great marketing and they can’t say ‘probably’ and still be called atheists (instead of agnostics).
