British Christian Bus Driver Walks Because of Atheist Advertisement

A devout Christian has become the first driver to refuse to get behind the wheel of a bus bearing an atheist poster declaring God probably does not exist. Ron Heather, 62, walked out in protest after seeing the advert declaring: "There's probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life."
He told his managers he could not drive the bus because the slogan, placed on the side of 800 buses across the country last week after a fundraising campaign raised £140,000, went against his faith.
They have now agreed to accommodate his religious beliefs by letting him drive buses in Southampton that do not bear the controversial message, which has been supported by atheists including Professor Richard Dawkins, the evolutionary biologist.
It comes after more than 200 people complained to the Advertising Standards Agency about the posters, which were created by Ariane Sherine, a comedy writer, as an antidote to religious adverts on public transport that "threaten eternal damnation" to passengers.

Let's think about this... 

It's OK to plaster "You Are Eternally Damned" posters on a bus.  But, a poster saying you think there is no god is not alright?  I'm a Christian.  But, some of the things Christians do embarrasses me.
