DETROIT (AP) - Some Michigan atheists are renting space on buses to carry their message around metropolitan Detroit.
The ads are to begin a month-long run Thursday on more than a dozen Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transportation (SMART) buses. They show the words "Don't believe in God? You are not alone" superimposed on an image of blue sky and clouds.
Ruthe Milan, a spokeswoman for the Detroit Area Coalition of Reason, says the ads will appear on SMART buses running from downtown Detroit to several Oakland County communities. They are being paid for with $5,250 from the United Coalition of Reason.
Milan tells The Detroit News that the signs are meant to encourage atheists and humanists to reach out to each other, not to try to convert believers in God.
