There is a commercial for Atheism.

This seems a bit over-the-top to me, "ATHEISTS ARE NONCONFORMIST, LOGICAL INTELLECTS WHO SEEK KNOWLEDGE". And I thought there was simply a disbelief involved.
Not an exact quote above. 
Aired in a country with a significant portion of the population believing that we're baby-eating Satan worshipers.
It's a bit cornball but I won't say no to a little positive PR for my godless brothers and sisters.

Bahaha. Okay, fair points. Both of you.
There was nothing in the video about baby-eating. I feel that a complaint is in order.
Nor was there anything which said that we're just pretending to not believe in God so we can live immoral lives. I am dissapoint.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

"Men see clearly enough the barbarity of all ages — except their own!" — Ernest Crosby.
In all seriousness, was "We go one god further" the best slogan they could come up with? Maybe it because I'm an ex-Wiccan, or maybe South Jersey just has an uncommon abundance of liberal Christians, but I've known more than a few religious people who believe that their own faith is but one of many paths to a common "truth" and are thus worshipping different versions of the same god. The notion of "you're atheist to all other gods but the one you worship" doesn't apply to universalism.
Other than that, I liked it...just the slogan at the end slightly ruined it for me. 
I'll give them an "A" for effort.
