There’s probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life.

A £140,000 advertising campaign aimed at persuading more people to “come out” as atheists carried the following message; “There’s probably no God.

Now stop worrying and enjoy your life” – this slogan was broadcast across 200 buses in central London during January.

The theology thinktank Theos welcomed the campaign, saying it was a “great way” to get people thinking about God. “The posters will encourage people to consider the most important question we will ever face in our lives. The slogan itself is a great discussion starter. Telling someone ‘there’s probably no God’ is a bit like telling them they’ve “probably” remembered to lock their door. It creates the doubt that they might not have.”

It is rumoured that a similar campaign carrying the slogan “Sleep in on Sunday Morning”. was planned, but failed to get up and running in Australia.
