No atheist bus ads for Vancouver

    Meanwhile you can now compose your own desired message, courtesy of the original campaigners. At least on the web, via a "bus slogan generator"
    Not sure whether posting URL's is allowed but the phrases as given google perfectly.
    In terms of coverage for cost, the atheist bus campaign has been a marvel of effectiveness.

    What a cowardly move on Translinks part. What harm is there in this message? the vast majority of people have already figured out that there is no god.
