They are not treating the atheist group the same as they have treated religious groups. They had no problem with running religious ads for years, and only now want to discontinue the practice because they don't want atheist advertising. So they are discriminating against atheists.
Yes, and as I said - and as the article said - it's for business purposes. If they believe that they'll lose riders due to the ads, and that lost revenue will exceed the ad revenue, then they need to ban the ads. They also banned religious ads. Makes sense to me.
