It's not a topic that is above criticisms - however, sensitivity is called for.

The ads aren't even critical of any religion in my opinion. "There probably is no God" should hardly send a beep on the controversy meter, yet because people peceive it an attack on their personal religion, they stifle the message..

nobody seem to respect the Sumerian gods, Egyptian gods or Roman gods simply because the followers have disappeared--so much for god being eternal). Would anyone get offended by a bus that said: "There's probably no Zeus, now stop worrying and enjoy your life."
I saw on the news this morning a lawsuit has been filed in Ottawa because the bus ads are not allowed. The ads aren't even critical of any religion in my opinion.

It's time we have this discussion. Our society allows religions a free pass not given to other topics like politics. We see it right here on Urban Toronto.
How do we change it?
Without religion, the world would be very dull.
I think it's not very fair to use the general term "religion" in this thread when the criticisms are directed to the more virulent forms.
