The buses hit London!

The poster campaign by the BHA and part funded by the author Richard Dawkins has been really very successful. Raising over 10 times more than the £11,000 originally hoped for they will now be placing posters all over the UK. We'd like to say 'Thanks'!!!

Think For Yourself!

Atheists have always offered people opportunity to explore for themselves. We want to give you an opportunity to think for yourself. What's missing from life when you offer subservience to a mythical being?

Whilst most of the population of the world believe in gods and goddesses, atheism is actually older than all of the worlds religions combined. You are born atheist, but you are taught religion. Those brave enough to question the status and privilege that religion has in the world today can tell their stories here.

Contribute to There Probably Isn't...

Welcome to There Probably Isn't ...! We need your stories. We're not after preachers, proselytisers or people prone to peppering their prose* with the words "Hallelujah!", "Let me bless you with this anointed oil!" or "I'll pray for you". We want ordinary people to contribute their real stories of how, why when they became unbelievers. 500 words to tell us a little about yourself and a little about why you disbelieve in gods or goddesses would be lovely.

Please submit your story today!
