It turns out that some Christians don't have a sense of humour either:
The whole atheist bus campaign started in response to Christian advertising for the Alpha course... Is this what has happened to public debate about religion? Bus wars?
I think Bishop Alan has a much better idea.

In a somewhat cheeky move, the Rev George Hargreaves of the Christian Party has created a bus advert which proclaims: "There definitely is a God. So join the Christian Party and enjoy your life." It will run on 50 bendy buses in central London, east London and the West End.
Meanwhile, the Russian Orthodox Church has booked 25 supersize bus advertisements, backed by a sponsorship deal with Russian Hour TV, using the line "There IS a God, BELIEVE. Don't worry and enjoy your life."
The Trinitarian Bible Society has taken a less temperate approach, using a line from the bible to scold nonbelievers: "The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God," runs the advertisement's slogan, taken from Psalm 53.1 (Source: The Guardian)
