Religion, with the definition that makes some see Atheism as a religion, roughly translated from my Swedish notes:

a thought-system that tries to explain that which we can't comprehend with our senses and that can't always be explained through rational thinking

includes all beliefs, everything from those who believe in one God only to those that do not believe at all that there exists a God/gods

describes often a God/gods, world's coming, human's role and ethics science

some even include for example, humanism and atheism as religion

Regarding that slogan, it almost sounds sarcastic to me.

And also, it could affect people after readin', thinkin' "But what if there is?" 'cause many of us try to become rebellious to what's said through the media, whatever forms they come in.
 
:sl:
I think Dawkins is in need of a hug. I mean, he'd get loads if he said the shahadah, but oh well. Guess he'll have to do with bus slogans.

Unless the "atheists" made a supernatural claim, to explain it, it can't be religious. Secondly, atheists don't claim to know everything (most don't, or atleast, none of them should), they just don't accept God as a valid reason for it.
 
But there are those who say it is a religion, which I find ironic but at the same time, interesting arguments they do have. Anyways, just wanted it pointed out, I end my part here before I get all off-topic, which I sometimes tend to.
 
what a stupid dea :-\

i mean the only people that would probably pay attention to it are those who don't believe in god anyway...i mean you either believe in god and would hence ignore it, or don't believe in god, and thus agree with it...so "stop worrying and get on with life" wouldn't really apply to anyone...:-\


and really, a bus slogan :S
 
It would be amusing if people who believed in God (muslims, christians, jews, sikhs, etc) got together and did some sort of counter-ad campaign.

As for these ads, I guess I'm indifferent to them.. If you're going to doubt the existence of God, you don't need a bus ad to help you along.

i was thinking the same thing. i mean is someone gna really look at the bus and think 'the bus has spoken.' :p lol
 
^ Hahaha, "The Bus has spoken"...

Anyways, I'm pretty indifferent to this aswell. Couldn't care less actually, but those darn bus tickets, expensive.
 
I support the campaign and donated. I think it's a definitive start of atheists organising themselves. They were looking for donations for 5,500 to pay for the advert. It currently stands at 86,328.82.

As for atheism being a religion, I guess we will find out soon since Religions in the UK and most of the world enjoy a special privelidge of being tax free, if atheism organised and reached the point of applying for tax free status I can quite believe those that call themselves a religion will suddenly claim atheism is not, which I think they will win. Religion claims to be absolute truth, atheism does not and that's the whole point to having "Probably" in the campaign, like science, nothing is absolute.

What a waste of money, you might aswell burn it rather than giving to crappy causes like that.
 
Lol this is quite hilarious. But to each their own I guess.

As long as they dont stop the Islamic Relief adverts on the main road where I live then all's good.
