How the U.K. learned to stop worrying and love the atheism ads

Who needs a Popemobile? Not the atheists.
The British Humanist Association prefers buses and subways. And now, the pro-atheism group has finally launched that mass-transit ad campaign in England, Scotland and Wales that it's been promising since October.
The buses feature the now-familiar slogan, "There's probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life." But the campaign also goes underground with these four subway ads, featuring quotes from Albert Einstein, Douglas Adams, Emily Dickinson and Katherine Hepburn. Adams's quote is the probably best of the bunch: "Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?"
The BHA raised £140,000 for the campaign, per the BBC. No word on how much of that was spent on these atheist holiday cards.
