Buses with the slogan 'There's probably no God' could soon be running on the streets of Britain.
The atheist posters are the idea of the British Humanist Association (BHA) and have been supported by prominent atheist Professor Richard Dawkins.
The BHA planned only to raise £5,500, which was to be matched by Professor Dawkins, but it has now raised more than £20,300 of its own accord.
It aims to have two sets of 30 bendy-buses carrying the signs for four weeks in London.
As the campaign has raised more than anticipated, it will also have posters on the inside of buses as well.
The BHA is also considering extending the campaign to cities including Birmingham, Manchester and Edinburgh.
The complete slogan reads: 'There's probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life.'
Professor Dawkins said: 'Religion is accustomed to getting a free ride - automatic tax breaks, unearned respect and the right not to be offended, the right to brainwash children.
'Even on the buses, nobody thinks twice when they see a religious slogan plastered across the side.
Buses with the controversial slogan could be on the roads from January

Strangely enough, dawkins is mentioned in that wiki page
“Richard Dawkins argues for an “anti-Pascal wager””
>> ‘There’s probably no God’
This makes no sense whatsoever other than to agitate.
Project alot?
Yup. And if things don't go well for us on election day, it looks like we'll be challenging them for the fastest fall from power.
Yeah, I know we didn't really rule the world like England, but you get the drift....
I get the drift alright. I feel downright snowed in. And this just might be the beginning of America’s winter.
CS Lewis quote ping! :)
But if there is nothing after this, why not waste your time? After all, if your life has no ultimate meaning it doesn’t really matter what you do with it. So you might as well wallow in self-gratification. Not the best way to build a healthy culture.
Anyway, this is fighting the battle on the Humanists terms. I don’t believe in God because of the promises He has made for me after I die. I believe in God because of the promises He has made for me here and now.
Let them change it to,” There is probably no Allah...”
and I might even contribute.
British Humanist Association? I thought that this was the new 39th article of the Church of England.
If you live your life as if there is no Allah/Krishna/Shiva... you may have some explaining to do.
I'll answer that with a question: What if you're wrong?
