Atheist Bus Campaign hits Chicago?
I haven't seen any news reports about this yet, which seems odd, but apparently the Indiana chapter of the Atheist Bus Campaign had a donor help out with a Chicago run ad:
The Indiana Atheist Bus Campaign is excited to announce its over-the-border expansion to neighboring Chicago, Illinois with the slogan “In the beginning, man created God” beginning May 18th.
On May 11th we launched in South Bend, Indiana with “You can be good without God”, a slogan that challenges the notion that a good moral code requires supernatural direction and religion has a corner on morality. Our Chicago slogan espouses the idea that man created God as well as all religions, and encourages public and critical examination of the merits of religious belief.
The new slogan chosen for a Chicago was entirely paid for by a private donor to the organization. All other donations received up to this point have gone towards ads in South Bend with the original slogan “You can be good without God.”
They updated their blog with a picture of one of the ads on a bus (click to enlarge):

But it still seems a bit odd without any news stories about it. Still interesting that the campaign may have begun to trickle across into our side of the border.
