Here's a shocking and sober story for this 21st century of ours. In the home of the brave and the land of the free, no not Yorkshire but the good o'l US of A an atheist by the name of David Silverman applied for a custom number plate, nothing wrong with that I hear you say however it just so happens that Silverman is the President of American Atheists and so naturally he asked for his number plate to read "ATHE1ST". His request was denied by the traffic authorities in the state of New Jersey, the reason given was that this would be offensive!!
In the immortal words of Jim Royle, "land of the free my arse!"

It's merely a statement of fact - how can that be offensive?
CB, facts that disagree with religious dogma seem to be "offensive" to those that would rather only believe things that make them happy.
