Though the message of this poster does nothing to counter the perception that atheists are hedonistic. A moral code can be just as important to atheists as it is to religious folk.

I suppose that I agree about sparking dialogue. And as for 'preachy', I don't mean that it's overboard or anything. Just saying that IMO, Atheism is not something that needs to be promoted. And I don't mean to come off as a snob, but it's not like religion. Religion needs new believers to perpetuate itself. Like tobacco companies need young smokers. (I am so going to pay for that comparison)
