The buses have started making appearances all over the UK. The Atheist bus campaign was started by a British woman, Ariane Sherine, who found the damning ads of religious groups all over the city buses to be inappropriate and misleading.
Richard Dawkins, author of “The God Delusion” and a strong voice for atheists all over the world was present at the launch of the bus campaign.
The campaign asserts that the reason for the bus posters was to let others know that there are non-religious out there and they have a voice as well. The campaign raised three times as much in donations as they had hoped to raise.
Local church leaders are skeptical that the campaign will be successful in changing people’s minds. However, simply letting other non-believers know that there is an organization and over 14% of the world’s population to back them up might help some closeted atheists and those who have really never thought about it for themselves to take action.
