Atheism is a term used to describe people who believe there is no god, and like the term Christian it covers a wide flavour of views. Many religious people believe atheists are complete non believers, not very good people and go around denouncing christ / god.
That veiw is about as accurate as those non believers who beleive all Christians are bible bashing sandal wearing loonies.
The term Atheist is unfortunately used to include those of us who beleive that the bible may be a very innacurate publication, based on disorted reports.
The term Atheist should be considered a derogatory term because it's use implies that god is fact and the Atheist is a non believer in fact.
Back to the advert, I believe they will make people give a thought about the whole subject, in fact it may even make some who never give it a thought take an interest in religion and possibly gain some much needed new members at church.
I am safe to post such things at this time on a Sunday.
