The presenters of Australia’s biggest television show, Sunrise, are not just very funny and great with puns – they’re also the most freethinking people I’ve come across in TV since the start of the campaign! Watch this and feel hopeful…

If you can speak Castillian or Catalan then please check out Bus Ateo, the site of the atheist buses in Madrid and Barcelona. If you’re in the United States then atheist buses with ads in a different style have appeared in Washington. If you’re keen on organising similar campaigns in other countries please do drop us a line via the contact page and we can put you in touch with humanists in the relevant countries.
We’ll also be doing a comprehensive press and blog review over the next 48 hours. We’ll manage to cover the mainstream media and blogs in English, French and German and some people have already sent us links (like this excellent list of the Spanish and Italian coverage) but if you’ve yourself written something, or have seen something interesting please comment here or contact us.

In the autumn when the idea of atheist buses first took off the major press coverage outside the UK was in the USA, Spain and Italy. This time around the picture is rather different – at the launch event and subseqently the campaign has been receiving excellent coverage in Germany. A long piece today at Spiegel Online has been so popular that it’s the ‘Most Wanted’ article on their website.
There was also plenty of coverage in RTL Aktuell and RTL Nachtjournal.

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to say thank you so much for all your fantastic comments, funny slogans and photos – and of course your donations. We couldn’t have done any of this without you.
I’ve written another blog for the Guardian site where you can leave ideas for how we can best use the funds:

Will write again here soon.
Many thanks again!
Ariane
