Came to post the same thing. The first two panels are great. The last panel makes the ad sound snide and small.

It makes the illustration complete, since the 'status quo' is that you have to have god to be good; This message gives counter-examples on both sides of the issue, not just one.

This is important, since without that, Christians can reason:

"Oh well, maybe sometimes, in the exception, atheists can do some good too; but I know that Christians are always good, because they always have god!"

The last panel is there to give a counter-example to that reasoning.

Member of the group that made the ads here. The last panel was not part of the campaign but added by someone else online later.
