#2 Wait until he gets the Jihad ad bus, or the Wikken bus, or the Scientology bus, or the Magic Mushroom Bus.......you get the picture.

#3 It occurs to me, there is no "there's probably no hearne" bus to offend the wiccans, or "there might be aliens out there but they're not space brothers here to save us from ourselves" bus to offend the noo age types.

#4 Testing. Muslims are offended all the time at a drop of a hat, so this particular christian maybe decided to see if it sticks. Can be probably expanded to being offended by muezzin call to prayers, the height of minarets disturbing the skyline, etc, etc. At least that is the direction of being offended I'd like to see in substantial numbers.

#5 There is no "there's probably no hearne" bus to offend the wiccans

I think the "no God" clause covers Herne, same as it covers Zeus, Allah, YHWH, the Holy Trinity, Huitzilopochtli, etc, etc. Atheists tend to be equally atheistic towards all deities.

#6 ...equally atheistic towards all deities.

Except usually themselves. Too many all to often demand others surrender on to them and worship at their alter, that theirs is the only true notion and all other must bend to them. We have the legal briefs to prove it.

#7 The local Freedom From Religion Foundation has said absolutely nothing about Islam, Wicca, or any other faith. They go after Christian groups only, as far as I know.

#8 Let us examine this:

Offensive sign? Check

Firebombing? No. Therefore not an Islamist.

Fatwah Issued against driver, sign maker, sign buyer, bus company, township, county and nation?

No. Therefore not Muslim.

Archdruid approves sign and chides driver? No.
Therefore not an Anglican.

Driver launches Lawsuit? No.
Therefore not an American.

Driver refuses due to offense? Check.
Therefore not a unitarian

He must be a normal Christian.

#9 Good for him. I wouldn't ride the bus either.
