Re: "atheist ads":
For my money the ads are pointless. I don't care what somebody puts on the side of a bus. It's faintly amusing, and absurd for anybody to get bent out of shape about it. I note that in fact some religious people have no objection to them. It is starkly different from "The God Delusion". Corresponding thread would be "The God Improbability". That is not a value judgement, as "delusion" is.
Words mean something--even if some Mudcat atheists don't seem to recognize that fact.
Also, as I understand it, the bus ads are not in fact "atheist ads". The word "probably" is used. That makes it agnostic, not atheist.
Agnosticism makes perfect sense. Atheism makes no sense--as well as being the worst thing to ever happen to humanity.
You asked for my 2 cents.
