Well blaming Darwinism for anything is silly, he didn't specify the reasoning behind this particular nugget.

So no one went and checked (http://www.atheistbus.org.uk/) their website?
The picture in OP's post is a shoop. (http://www.atheistbus.org.uk/busphotos/DSC_0019.JPG) Here's the original.

Check your facts next time.

Speaking of checking facts, have they done research which shows that Christians, Muslims and Jews renowned for being worried and sad? And I mean ordinary ones, not just those in the public eye.

Why say ‘stop worrying'?

The Christian ads to which the Atheist Bus Campaign is a response linked to a website that promised non-Christians and eternity of torment in a lake of fire. Pretty worrying. Our ads offer a dissenting view from this and are positive messages, urging that we enjoy our lives.

That's the last time I help you with your reading problems. From here on you're on your own.

EDIT: Sorry for coming off so harsh, it's nothing personal. I just still cannot believe that TTLGeers would fly into this blindly without a minimum of source checking. The URL's in OP's pic after all.

And here's a not-entirely-serious proposal for bus shelters:

As an aside, I got a 1-week ban yesterday from the Dawkins forums for telling someone to go fuck themself. Bunch of stuck-up bastards ;)

Why would non Christians worry about what the bible says?

And surely if someone is worried, no advert, bus or otherwise, would change their mind.

And why would the faith of good god-fearing Christians be shaken by a bus advert?

It's a public discourse. It happens all the time.

Most people in this country probably fit into the "unsure" box as regards religious belief. I think there's little doubt that a bus ad like the one promising hellfire and damnation to non-believers would be enough to knock some of them off that fence.

Yes, adverts are renowned for never influencing anyone - that's why companies and organisations spend billions a year on them, after all...
