    Default Atheist Bus Campaign in High School Sociology Textbook

    Hey guys, a few months ago I was talking to a representative from McGraw Hill-Ryerson about a sociology textbook that was soon to be published. They wanted to know if they could publish a picture from the Canadian Atheist Bus Campaign. I agreed and said that they could and so after signing a few waiver forms/emailing them the picture, I managed to have our bus campaign published for the first time in a high school text book. Hopefully this means that our bus campaign will be in high schools across Canada.

    I'll post a scan soon.

    Interesting. I hope it happens. Also, I hope the article or lesson is not critical of atheism. I was on the bus that night.

    Chris, any idea what grade the text is for?
    " Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? "

    It has already been published, they don't say very much about the campaign other than that there was some religious groups who protested the ads while others thought it produced positive dialogue.

    I'm not sure, it doesn't mention what grade. It may actually be a college text but there's nothing on it that mentions 'college/high school/university'. Based on the way it is written, it seems like it would be intended for a senior level high school class, or a college gen-ed sociology course.
