For a good life, without religion

Libby Purvis | Atheists Corner?

Libby Purvis writes in the Times Online that Prof. Dawkins is “bitchy” (wrong gender, surely?), and sarcastically refers to a “coming-out party” for American atheists as “a blast” – it’s not a blast for those American atheists who are shunned by their religious relatives and neighbours. She also writes,

I am indebted to Matthew Parris who has contributed to a British Humanists campaign to put an ad on a bus saying “There’s probably no God. Now stop worrying and get on with your life”.

Sorry Libby, you got that wrong too. It’s not a BHA campaign, but was launched by blogger Jon Worth, who invited atheists to pledge a fiver via Pledgebank. I heard he didn’t get enough pledges.
