"Coalitions of atheists accuse city bus line of violating their rights to free speech.
Coalitions of atheists accuse city bus line of violating their rights to free speech in a fight to place ads on public buses praising a God-free lifestyle.
The lawsuit that has been filed say its advertising agency are discriminating against the group because they re being required to pay tens of thousands of dollars to put $5,000 worth of ads on 18 buses. Other groups, including churches, have not been required to pay the fee, which amounts to $36,000 in insurance in case of an attack on the buses by angry Christians.
The transit authority was all set to accept the ads, but that the advertising firm raised the concerns that lead to the insurance requirement. Out of 36 markets where ad campaigns have run, four have been vandalized. "
