Religion is accustomed to getting a free ride - automatic tax breaks, unearned 'respect' and the right not to be 'offended', the right to brainwash children," Professor Dawkins said.

"Even on the buses, nobody thinks twice when they see a religious slogan plastered across the side. This campaign to put alternative slogans on London buses will make people think – and thinking is anathema to religion."


Apparently, the message that there is probably no God is just so horrible, so hateful, and so intolerant that it's just more than some Christians can stand — or at least it's more than Christian Ron Heather can stand. A driver for First Bus, Ron Heather doesn't want to drive any busses that display the atheist advertisement suggesting that his god might not exist and that this isn't anything to worry about. Just as amazing is the fact that First Bus is willing to accommodate his position.

Oh, yes, saying that may be no gods is just so stark. Atheists in Britain should have tried not to beat people over the head with such a stark and insensitive message. They should have, you know, tried to be more cautious and humble in what they said. You never know when children or people with delicate sensibilities will be reading and it just wouldn't be right to unnecessarily insult them with egregiously strong messages.
What if a vegetarian didn't want to drive a bus with advertisements for meat? What if a person who abstains from alcohol didn't want to drive a bus with advertisements for whisky? What if a person waiting for marriage before having sex didn't want to drive a bus with advertisements for condoms? Somehow, I doubt that their "concerns" would be accommodated.
