I completely forgot that the Atheist Bus Campaign ads started appearing this Tuesday (6 January). I’m proud to have been one of the many people who donated to this. Apparently they raised £135,000. Well done to them and it’s a testament to the number of people who are fed up with those ridiculous religious adverts going unchallenged.

Ariane Sherine wrote a piece about the campaign in this week’s Comment is Free on the Guardian site which also has an audio and video clip about the campaign’s launch. AC Grayling wished we didn’t have to use the word “probably” in the campaign’s message (”There’s probably no god. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life”). Still, as he points out, if the campaign is forced to use the word “probably” to fit in with advertising guidelines, then religious adverts should have to use the word “allegedly” in their claims. Fantastic!

This week we also had the first non-religious thought for the day (on in the afternoon). Plus you can also now follow the Campaign on Twitter.
