Go London! Setting an example for the world. Religion is so dominant in society but today London launches a new bus ad campaign. If only the rest of the world were open minded enough and free from imposed fear to catch on. Atheist have more than earned their "word" being out there in society.

Holy crap, is that bus ad real?! And did Katherine Hepburn really say that? You've faked us out before so I'm just making sure.

No no, it's a real story:

That's just the first one that popped up on the google search.

Wow, I'm impressed with London. If people tried that here, everyone would be up in arms.

I know, it's brilliant! It's amazing how afraid people have been (and in many cases still are) of other peoples' disbelief. I think it just reflects upon them and fear being their reason for belief in the first place.

I love when you hear politicians or people on tv saying "only in America can we say or do things like......"

I mean you and know that the US is not exactly North Korea but that there's more freedom of speech in most other western nations.

If we can have all those threatening billboards that command us to talk to Jesus because he's waiting for us to, or something along those lines, we should be able to have those bus ads, too. I guess eventually we will, if there aren't any floating around at that moment.

Like Richard Dawkins says at the beginning of that documentary The Root of All Evil, atheism should have long been graduated into being the dominant belief (or lack of) in society when evolution was proven to be the most accurate theory of existence. Unfortunately it's taken much much longer and it's still not at that stage and one would hope we'd be well past this but at least this is a great step in the right direction
