Booted off Genoa, Italy, buses earlier this month after heated Catholic and Muslim protest, the atheist bus ads will run in drastically toned-down form on perhaps one bus for two weeks in February.
The new ad approved by advertising licensing agency IGP Decaux, reads: "The Good News Is There Are Millions of Atheists In Italy; The Excellent News Is They Believe In Freedom Of Expression."
Originally the message was "The Bad News Is God Doesn't Exist, The Good News Is You Don't Need Him."
The secretary of the Italian Union of Atheists, Agnostics and Rationalists (UAAR), Raffale Carcano, said the UAAR was working to get the original message approved in cities where IGP doesn't control advertising.
Heaven only knows whether they'll succeed.
