This is mostly a matter of perception. To you, an advertisment that says "there is no god" is an attack, while an advertisment for religion is neutral, if not even positive. Many people apparently perceive this in the opposite way - they feel being continuously attacked by various preachers and missionaries while "there is no god" seems neutral to them.
As far as I am concerned, "there's no god" is pretty much the same as "theory of relativity is not valid" - it may or may not be true, but in either case, it is NOT an attack at Einstein himself, nor at people who think that Einstein was right. I may be inclined to agree with that statement or disagree with it, depending on my personal set of beliefs, but I can't really imagine being insulted by it. At worst, I'll just think "what an idiot" about the person who said it.
