Recently, there was an advertising campaign in New Zealand for atheism. The ads, displayed on buses, read, "There's probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life." New Zealand Bus got some complaints on the campaign, and they ended up taking the advertisements down.



Enter Archdeacon Glynn Cardy:



Archdeacon Glynn Cardy, vicar of St Matthew-in-the-City in Auckland, says NZ Bus's decision last month to stop the display of paid adverts showing atheistic slogans is regrettable.

"Many in the Christian community welcome a debate about issues of the existence of God and, also, I don't think there's anything to be afraid of in that debate," he said.
