If religions can advertise, why not atheism?

Richard Dawkins and some organizations defending atheism as a valid moral choice are collecting money to start a campaign in London with the slogan:

"There is probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life"

This slogan will be in 30 London buses during a month.

And, know what? they have collected more than sixteen times the money they needed.

Religion still has a lot influence in our societies and too many times they impose their ideas no matter the irrational they are. And what is worst, they exploit the fears of people and prey on the poor.

They say that there is not an alternative to religion, that is what organised religions want us to think. But, actually, religion should be seen as an ethic framework and ethics does not need a set of supernatural believes.

So why not to be an atheist, reject crazy ideas and still be a good person. If there is any god, he/she will be happy too.
