“I think it’s dreadful,” said Sandra Lafaire, 76, a tourist from Los Angeles, who said she believed in God and still enjoyed her life, thank you very much. “Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I don’t like it in my face.”
And from Richard Dawkins:
“Across Britain, we are used to being bombarded by religious interests,” he said, “not just Christians, but other religions as well, who seem to think that they have got a God-given right to propagandize.”

This is a really interesting piece! I'm impressed by their guts, although I'm kind of disappointed in the lack of wittiness to the slogan. The Australian version is a lot funnier, even if antagonistic ("Atheism: Sleep in on Sunday mornings"). I also think the Methodist spokesman made a good point about supporting the ads because they might provoke people to think about the issue of religion.
