That is: <blockquote>A total of 200 bendy buses in London and 600 buses across England, Scotland and Wales will carry the slogan from today and tomorrow following a fundraising drive which raised more than £140,000.</blockquote> Please stop leaving out the rest of the UK. :( Um, the atheist buses were not just in England but were launched ‘nationwide’.

Unfortunately, since it'll be hard to convince the rest of them to retract it, he'll just issue a new line of currency for us that doesn't bear the phrase. The different levels of currency will be depicted by different levels of evolved organisms, with the least evolved being on the smallest-value currency, and so forth. The one-cent piece will bear a semblance of an amoeba, while the depiction on the $10,000 bill will be for homo sapiens (bearing the semblance of Darwin, of course!). He'll require all retailers to accept this new currency, and while they remain idly baffled, our private atheistic economy will soar.
