To be fair I did say
likely. If atheists did raise such objections the most important question needing to be answered is why bring it up now...and judging by the amount of cynicism displayed on CF and in just about any other section of society towards religion I'd reiterate it's likely to be just tit-for-tat.
In any case, I image the athiests made up the majority, and if they started saying they weren't going to drive buses with pro-God slogans how far would it go? The bus company would lose a sponsor, there wouldn't be anyone to drive the majority of the buses, the list goes on.
If there were any
genuine objections from the atheists, after answering why their concerns were not addressed in the past, I'm sure common sense would be applied.
