I don't agree with the message, but this is at least an appropriate response. I'd have a lot more respect for it if it had been the response in the first place and not Plan B to censoring the atheist campaign, though.

Still seems like the same old pissing contest. Amusing, but I doubt it'll influence anyone who isn't already firmly in agreement. People start sticking Jesus fish on their cars. So other people decide to be clever and start sticking Darwin fish on theirs, as an obvious parody. Then, trying to do the same thing (but far less clever), the Jesus fish people update theirs to show the Jesus fish eating a Darwin fish (seriously, what does that symbolize? "We destroy those who are different/disagree with us"?) And now we have people with everything from anglerfish to Flying Spaghetti Monsters on the back of their cars*. I'm more than happy to have a debate about such things, but trying to force your beliefs down someone's throat won't accomplish anything, no matter what side you're on.
*In the interest of full disclosure, my car has a Flying Spaghetti Monster emblem. However, I always considered the FSM more a mockery of the Kansas Intelligent Design fiasco and the attempt to force religion into science class rather than of religion itself.
Yeah it is all rather amusing to think either side could actually influence a lot of people with ads like these. I mean come on, you'd have to be pretty dense or feeble minded to let them do so.
But I have a feeling that some of the Christian groups would rather put up ads like these hypothetical ones:

I forget the exact success rate, but you know Jehovah's Witnesses? How they go door-to-door and just try to convince you to radically alter your belief system, because they showed up at your door and asked you to?
SOMETIMES IT WORKS. Boggle that one for a moment.
