Is it? I think there's a genuine case here. The fact that not many Atheists have objected to religious advertising, doesn't mean they have no beef with it. To discount any (potential) objections from Atheists as just being tit-for-tat is a little simplistic in my opinion. The question here is if the liberties that are granted to people of faith extend to those without faith (and those who reject it).

So, It would be interesting to see what would happen if a bus driver would decide to actually make a point of not wanting to drive a 'you are going to hell if you don't believe x, y, or z' bus.
