Political agenda of RIPTA "Godless" campaign?

I don't have any quarrel with atheistic humanism. But I smell the "New Atheism" in these obnoxious RIPTA bus ads: "Godless? So are we!" The new atheism is characterized by rude, snobby and mean spirited effrontery.

As a socialist I can only wonder at its political agenda. Individuals who feel a need to join exclusive "intellectual" cliques  are rarely friends of the oppressed and exploited masses. Do they apply reason & logic to the highly irrational capitalist system?  Or am I correct in suspecting that many of these naturally superior individuals are devoted to the Ayn Rand cult?

Ayn Rand remains the crackpot queen of pro-capitalist atheism.
