When buses emblazoned with adverts declaring "there's probably no God" start trundling through the streets of London, passengers may be surprised to learn who is supporting them...
The campaign is being backed by Theos, the think-tank backed by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams,
"We thought it was a great opportunity for people to think about faith and God, so we decided to support it," says Paul Woolley, the director of Theos. "It would be hard to come up with a message more self-centred message than this. Stunts like this demonstrate how militant atheists are often great adverts for Christianity."
So keen was he on the project, which is backed by Professor Richard Dawkins, the prominent atheist, that Theos has donated £50.
