Barcelona - Atheist groups in Barcelona will follow the example of a bus advertising campaign under way in London, placing ads denying the existence of God on two buses running in Spain's second-largest city, local transport authorities said Monday.

The ads reading "There's probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life" will be seen in Barcelona from January 12 onwards.

For believers, faith in God was not an obstacle to enjoying life, but "a solid foundation to live life with an attitude of solidarity, peace and a sense of transcendence," the Barcelona archbishop's office commented.

Britain's first atheist advertising campaign was launched in October by Guardian newspaper and supported by the British Humanist Association and atheist campaigner Professor Richard Dawkins. (dpa)
