hell yeah!!!
"Therefore I am not in favour of raising any dogmatic banner. On the contrary, we must try to help the dogmatists to clarify their propositions for themselves. Thus, communism, in particular, is a dogmatic abstraction; in which connection, however, I am not thinking of some imaginary and possible communism, but actually existing communism as taught by Cabet, Dézamy, Weitling, etc. This communism is itself only a special expression of the humanistic principle, an expression which is still infected by its antithesis – the private system. Hence the abolition of private property and communism are by no means identical, and it is not accidental but inevitable that communism has seen other socialist doctrines – such as those of Fourier, Proudhon, etc. – arising to confront it because it is itself only a special, one-sided realisation of the socialist principle."

Kind of black-and-white if I'm honest. There is a limited amount you can put on a bus ad, to be fair, but I prefer the "Are you good without god? Millions are." or “Don’t believe in God? You are not alone.’’ style messages to these more confrontational ones.
I'm in two minds as to whether the fact that certain whiny religious people who think they have the right not to be offended (whilst many will nod approvingly at billboards saying stuff about people going to hell) will definitely complain is a good thing or not. On the one hand, it's a really annoying habit, and many will agree out of a desire not to offend. On the other, I wonder if it will make those that complain too vocally look like the whiny pricks that they are.

My reaction would be cheering in the street XD
I have approximate answers and possible beliefs, and different degrees of certainty about different things, but I’m not absolutely sure of anything, and many things I don’t know anything about. But I don’t have to know an answer. I don’t feel frightened by not knowing.

It isn't any worse than those 'repent or suffer for all eternity, filthy heathen'-type billboards.
I'd rather do without both though.

What does Science have to do with the Holocaust?Science can also lead to eugenics and the Holocaust.

Re: What would be your reaction to this?
Nazis used a lot of false science in order to prove that the Jews were inferior, and adopted scientific theories such as those as eugenics to justify their actions against the Jews.

Yeah true. Without Christianity, the holocaust wouldnt happen.

Re: What would be your reaction to this?
Antisemitism existed before Christianity, and the Nazi persecution of the Jews was not done at the behest of Christianity but because of Nazi racial beliefs, many of which stemmed from science. Disproven science, but science still.Strictly speaking the whole antisemitism thingy came from Christianity you know. Fair enough with former tho'.
