Ten Years After the Atheist Bus Campaign: Some Reflections

It may be hard to believe, but it has been ten years since the Atheist Bus Campaign posted ill-conceived signs on European buses with the trite caption: “There’s probably no god. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life.”

Note to atheists: when you finally grab the microphone, try to have something more profound to say than “Enjoy your life.”

For example, you could say something like “Let’s make the world better. It’s up to us!” Or perhaps “Love your neighbor, because there is no god to do it.”

But instead, you settled on the trite, narcissistic “Enjoy your life”. Talk about a lost opportunity. How very disappointing.

No wonder that ten years on, theists are still having a chuckle…
