"Organising atheists is like herding cats," someone once said. Well, the cats have been cool and have organised themselves.Ariane Sherine: All aboard the atheist bus campaign | Comment is free | guardian.co.uk
When I made my modest donation to the fund in the evening of the day it launched, there was a notice to say that the target (£5,500) had been reached shortly after 10 am. During the time it took me to enter my credit card details the fund increased by about £2,000. The last time I checked (while writing this post) the fund stood at £108,506.83.
There's been a good deal of adverse comment from both believers and non-believers in the press and online - but the important thing is that people are talking about the campaign. To facilitate further discussions I offer this roundup of comment:
