This:There are no problems with that slogan; in fact it was chosen because it is more philosophically accurate (and therefore more defensible) than "There is no God".
"There's probably no god. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life."
"There is no God" is a statement that most atheists would refuse to make, simply because it is an absolute statement about non-existence, which is very hard to back up logically. The addition of the word "probably" allows for us to be wrong, which most of us fully admit we can be.
An atheist is someone who doesn't believe in God, not someone who necessarily holds that God doesn't exist. The two are separate things.
