Every time I walk past it seems to have another bloody bible quote, and I'd really love for a bit of balance on the sign... Also, my mate just got me wondering how much it would cost to setup a happy meal promo? Who doesn't want a Richard Dawkins doll and an Atheist lunch box?! :) I would love to see an Atheist message on the electronic billboard on Cardiff high street!

I think the God-squad do something similar. Also pin badges would be excellent, I'd love to play spot the supporter when out and about Coule we have poster paccks available for supporters to buy so that they can put them up in local towns?

In their eyes, a true atheist doesn't believe there is NO god, just that the known facts strongly suggest that there isn't one and thus it's not worth considering. One could argue that this makes one a Skeptic as opposed to an Atheist, but I say the two classifications are equal. I would also argue that an Atheist who takes the zero-probability stance is as much a narrow-minded fundamentalist as is a 100%-probability Monotheist. In any case, the point of the "Probably" on the sign is justified in order to get around advertising legislation, and the point of the sign is to enlighten those who are already skeptical. There's no hope converting fundamentalists as they are by definition unshakable in their opinion (aka faith). (The same holds true on either side of the argument) Agnostic: Dawkins and Harris would disagree.

Not likely, but not disprovable either. I'm not arrogant enough to suggest that something is 100% certain, but it's enough for me to say it close to impossible as you can get. That's the atheist position. I believe that the likelyhood of god existing is about the same as the likelyhood of Santa and the Easter Bunny car-pooling to work.

Ergo, you are not an atheist. Have some backbone and conviction in what you claim to believe (not not believe) in.
