Campaña del bus ateo en Canadá

Siguiendo el éxito de la campaña de Ariane Sherine en Reino Unido con el eslogan "There's probably no god. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life" en los buses de la ciudad, la asociación organizó algo similar en febrero de 2009 en Toronto[3] el mensaje también circuló en Calgary, Halifax y Ottawa.[4] En estas dos últimas ciudades el anuncio fue rechazado en un principio, pero fue llevado a tribunal y se ganó el proceso.[5] [6]
