And like I said, I came to see it as a 'we're out there' campaign more than an attack. It's really not that offensive. The fact that some people believe it is, shows the double standard.
Yeah, I certainly don't find it offensive.

I'm just not sure that many folks other than 'active' atheists will get it, that's all.

Also, the motivation seems born more of "we can do this too" than of sharing an idea someone believes to be good or right. That said, I'm fully aware religious ads don't do the latter either in most cases.
