But when the British Humanist Society recently advertised on a few buses with the slogan, "There's probably no God," there were hundreds of complaints, and one driver refused to drive his bus.
I believe that there must be a parity of tolerance.

I saw that. I don't think it should be illegal to put something like that on the bus, I just wish people would respect other people's beliefs.
But we know that's asking a lot.
