(April 29, 2015 at 9:48 am)TRJF Wrote: - The local Freethinkers Group, led by a fellow named Justin Vacula (more on this in a bit), wanted to run ads on the sides of the buses too, but all ads including the word "atheist" were turned down because 1) they could offend the Transit Authority's riders and 2) they could hurt the Transit Authority's business.
- About 2 years ago, the Transit Authority decided, rather than run the "atheist ads," to forbid all "religious advertising."

Seems reasonable. The TA is likely operating at a big deficit already, and can't afford to offend paying customers. As long as they also deny religious ads, what's the problem?
