But I'd also like to say.

To every atheist who says that this campaign is their chance to retaliate against the hellfire and brimstone messages the church pushes with a message of positivity:*

To stop worrying is not positivity, its apathy.

Being challenged by the improbability of God or otherwise is part of enjoying life.


And where is this wrath of the church? Know thine enemy, people. The churches of England do more in the loving vagueness line, if you were looking for something to criticise. To suggest you are bombarded by propaganda of hatred seems at odds with reality. It's true that Alpha adverts say things like 'If God did exist, what would you ask?' and 'Is there more to life than this?'. Whilst it is possible to find the extremist views of a minority which are divisive, on the internet and on the streets in our cities, these largely false claims make it difficult to take your other perceptions of the world with the respect you deserve.
