Even the, it's just as likely to make them think "atheists are jerks". I've talked to people who stayed Christian longer than they otherwise would have because they didn't want to "be like the atheists".
In addition, any believer that sees this will feel attacked and won't actually reexamine their beliefs. This will also add fuel to the fire about Christianity being "under attack".
I pretty much agree with what you say here and maybe this "project" is counterproductive. On the other hand, Christianity is under attack and I see it as a good thing. I don't mind Christians thinking they are under attack as it seems to bring out the nuttiest and worst of the lot.
On another note and at the risk of invoking special pleading, something just feels right about removing religious propaganda. One small benefit is it does increase the operating costs in a very small amount, of whoever the provider might be: Gideons, Mormons, and that is also a good thing.
