Hundreds of buses in England are now carrying the advertisement that "There’s probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life."

Ah, where to begin?

What is this new movement in atheism making the non-believers evangelical with their non-beliefs? And why are they spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to make a point? Even prominent non-believer, Richard Dawkins, admitted to The LA Times that it was quite a hefty sum just for plastering England’s busses with controversy.

"That much money would have been better spent doing something else," Dawkins said.

He also said he doesn’t want to be known as an evangelical anything—an unfortunate term for him, obviously. Yet he admits zeal for his non-cause. Religious zeal? Looks that way.

Another anti-God zealot who climbs out of his primordial ooze in California a few times each year to file lawsuits is Michael Newdow. Not as famous—or smart as Britain’s resident theo-basher, Newdow is hell-bent on erasing "under God" from the pledge and this month is suing to drive all mention of God out of Barack Obama's inauguration Jan. 20. A U.S. District Court judge will hear the case Thursday, Jan. 15. Newdow also wants the invocation and benediction removed from the ceremony.

Why are atheists interested in promoting non-beliefs at all? Isn’t that a sort of contradiction to their world view? Dawkins says people should be good—but I’ve never understood the reason why he thinks they should. Obviously the comedy writer who scripted the bus slogan thinks people are only good when they are worried about the recriminations from God for their bad behavior. She thinks that bad behavior is enjoyable. That is funny. It’s a funny theology.

Anyway the best retort I can think of to these absurd atheistic evangelists is a bus slogan campaign that would read: "There’s probably no atheists. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life."

But I won’t campaign to raise money for something as silly as that. I won’t be filing any lawsuits either. I’d rather do crazy Christian things like feed the poor and build churches.
