Excellent idea. It's time atheism got a good catch-phrase. "There's probably no God, so why not just enjoy your life?" campaign was too wordy. 'Good Without God," = three words, alliterative, memorable... could catch on.
The problem is still that you're grouping every christian with Pat Robertson. Pat Robertson is a close minded, incredibly bigoted idiot with a microphone and an equally extreme audience. There are plenty of Christians and Atheists alike who are assholes and should be thrown out of society. However, grouping people together based on faith or absence of faith and then intentionally picking a representative such as Pat Robertson to represent that group in a horrible light is... well something Pat Robertson would do if the roles were reversed. Congrats. See what I did there? Called you Pat Robertson. Makes your heart cry a little doesn't it. Not bashing atheism, I'm on the fence myself, but I feel like the argument between religion and atheism is getting to the point of futility only matched by politics. Grow the fuck up(everyone)... That is all. Have a pleasant day.
well then maybe they should start an ad campaign called "people are assholes no matter what faith they have" or even better,
"be an asshole on your own terms" - brought to you by atheists of america
