I do like the fact that they are specifying its not an attack. The ones we had in London-I'm not sure if it is different elsewhere?- were quite easy targets for columnists and pundits to discount as an attack or full of heat and bravado.
I think the morality issue is a really good one, it is a positive statement- and tackles one of the major philosophical arguments for theism- do we need God to be good. Surely that notion is also the reason why unbelievers are rated just above criminals-or whatever that statistic is.
Erlend: that's exactly what we said in our meetings when it was decided, and I'm sure the Canadian groups who adopted it too felt the same. We had a few other ideas, but our message really is that simple.

Thanks for the promotion, John!

Nice. I'm hoping that they do something here in Indianapolis at some point too. We have alot more buses than Bloomington and Lafayette do.
The girl at the 1:00 mark is incredibly cute too.
Wow, I had no idea. I might have to drive to Bloomington just to see the bus. I hope to see something like this in Indianapolis someday
Come on, join in!
My words exactly! :-)
A bus campaign in Bloomington with its high concentration of atheists is preaching to the choir.
what's the point?
