Atheists' bus ads on the way
ATHEISTS want to buy advertising space on Edinburgh buses to tell people: "There's probably no God".
Controversial author Professor Richard Dawkins has pledged cash for the venture and more than 20,000 has been raised in individual donations to the British Humanist Association.
The idea came from comedy writer Ariane Sherine, who objected to a series of Christian adverts running on London buses.
Now the atheists plan to hit back with their own adverts and the message. : "There's probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life."
The ads are due to run in London in January, and organisers then hope to extend them to other UK cities, including Edinburgh.
