På bussar runt om i London kan man nu läsa kampanjbudskapet:
"There’s probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life."
När jag först såg kampanjen var jag osäker på vem som var avsändaren. Skulle betoningen ligga på "probably", och var det i så fall en småironisk kristen evangelisationskampanj som tog fasta på att ingen säkert kan veta något om Guds existens, men att det är dumt att chansa? Nix.
Avsändaren visade sig istället vara The British Humanist Association, som nyligen lanserat en ny kampanj.
Simon Barrow skriver klokt om kampanjen i The Guardian:
"The "stop worrying and enjoy your life" bit I find more problematic. Not because I want people to worry and not enjoy life, but because for so many people it is really difficult to do this right now. Which is why the real message that needs to get out there is about encouraging one another in active compassion.That, surely, is something we could all agree on? Compassion – an identification with the suffering of others so that you feel the need to alleviate pain and challenge injustice – is at the heart of the best kind of humanist thinking and living, and also the best kind of religious thinking and living."
