The Atheist Bus Campaign

For those of you who don't know, the Atheist Bus Campaign began in Britain as a counterattack to religious fundamentalists posting ads linking to "fire-and-brimstone" websites on UK buses.

The idea grew in popularity following a newspaper article in The Daily Telegraph, innacurately claiming that the original Pledgebank account had failed to raise enough donations (at the time they were not accepting donations).

After the Telegraph article, the story was picked up by bloggers, and spread like wildfire. Since then, the Atheist Bus Campaign has surpassed its £5,500 objective by more than £129,000; altogether, more than $247,500 Canadian dollars.

The Campaign has spread to several different countries:

• Australia - Atheist Foundation
• Canada - Atheist Bus Campaign
• Croatia - Atheist Trams
• Finland - Uskotamon bussikampanja
• Germany - Bus Kampagne
• Italy - Campagna Bus
• Netherlands - Atheïstische Reklamecampagne
• Quebec - Bus Humaniste
• Spain - Bus Ateo
• Switzerland - Atheist Bus
• USA - Indiana Atheist Bus Campaign
• USA - Seattle Atheists
• USA - Why Believe in a God
