How? The ad is targeting supporters of evolutionary theory; not all of whom are atheists. Additionally, the "gun" metaphor is used throughout the ad, specifically calling the 15 questions "rounds" and saying that creationists are eager to "fire" them (as in, fire a question).
It's a stupid advert, but I don't think there is any argument you can make that they are suggesting people shoot atheists...or anyone for that matter.
and that is why I said "If I didnt know better..." before i said that...which means I am aware that is not what they are meaning.
In reality its not good to use gun talk for anything like this.
Did you not understand what "If I didnt know better" meant? I thought it was quite simple and blunt.
