NYC Atheists Bus Campaign

You asked for it. You anticipated it. You waited for it! This month, some two dozen buses will roll through Manhattan, debuting our 12-foot long, three foot high message, "You don’t have to believe in god to be a moral or ethical person". Look for the signs the first day our buses maneuver through the city in late June. Take a photo of yourself standing beside our bus poster at a bus stop and we'll run it in our newsletter.

‘Good Without God,’ Atheist Subway Ads Proclaim
By JENNIFER 8. LEE

Coalition of Reason
An advertisement that promotes atheism will run in a dozen subway stations in Manhattan for a month starting next Monday.
Atheism is coming to the subway — or at least subway ads promoting it are.

Starting next Monday, a coalition of local groups will run a monthlong advertising campaign in a dozen Manhattan subway stations with the slogan “A Million New Yorkers Are Good Without God. Are You?” The posters also advertise the Web site BigAppleCoR.org, which provides a listing of local groups affiliated with the Coalition of Reason, the umbrella organization that coordinated the campaign.

The campaign — which is being paid for by $25,000 from an anonymous donor — follows a similar but unrelated monthlong campaign on buses by New York City Atheists in July. Jane Everhart, a spokeswoman for the New York City Atheists, said that campaign was highly successful and brought in many new members. “We are trying to raise money to do it again,” she said.


My Thoughts:

So again the joy of living in a country which allows you Freedom of Speech.
I wonder what would happen if the people who believe in God, posted something about their belief.
I think it would cause an outrage.. But you never know unless one does it?

Happy Hump Day!!
