The New Zealand Atheist Bus Campaign is underway. This campaign aims to put advertisements similar to the British one shown above on buses in Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch. The initial proposal was to pay for advertisements on 12 buses in Auckland, eight in Wellington, and four in Christchurch for a period of four weeks.

The idea originated in England and has been copied in many countries around the world.

Launched on Thursday 11 December, the campaign attracted immediate media attention. Spokesperson for the campaign, Simon Fisher, was soon being interviewed on Radio and TV and the campaign became the subject of many radio and TV programmes. An initial fundraising target of $10,000 was passed in less than 30 hours. and $18,000 soon after. This will allow advertisements on more buses or allow the advertisements to run for longer. Those donating have requested more buses in Christchurch and buses in Hamilton, Tauranga, and Dunedin. This campaign has caught the public's imagination.

To read more about this campaign go to the NZ Atheist Bus Campaign website at http://www.nogod.org.nz/

The Challenge of Modern Humanism


Human beings must accept responsibility for themselves, each other and our planet
There is no evidence of any supernatural power to help, reward or punish us
We must gain greater understanding of our world and our fellow human beings. Our resources for this are our
   - human experience
   - modern knowledge
   - capacities for reason, compassion and co-operation

All donations made to the atheist bus campaign
(Labeled with ‘Atheist Advertising’)
