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.
