Atheists are mistrusted? I find any “adult” that believes in invisible magical sky beings not only untrustworthy but their judgment of anything highly questionable.

I do the right thing because it is the right thing to do. I don't need a father figure of any kind (god) to tell me how to behave civilly. Religion gives people an excuse to be bigoted and to hate, and that is why I turned from it.

For a state that would allow homosexual marriage to get exorcised over this is a little over the top. Your politicos want to flaunt Gods law as it pertains to a man laying with a man but to question His existence is out of the question. What fools you elect.

Censorship is a very poor way to support your beliefs. I thought the US was about freedom and free speech. Running to the big government to “protect” yourself from “bad” points of view seems very immature and even childish.
Grow up, Iowa and accept that there are many points of view, many of them far older than Christianity. This act of censorship is the problem not the statements that were made on public buses.

Don't believe in god? you are not alone. I am an atheist and I do not like the ad . The ad should read = Don't believe in gods? you are not alone. Atheists should know that all gods are not alike and if we use their language in describing their creeds we are not making much headway in stamping out the infamous thing,”Ecyaez l'infame” as Voltaire {1694-1778} would say.

As an atheist living in a secular society (UK), I find this behaviour a combination of ridiculous, naive and frightening in probable equal measures. Ridiculous because atheists have morals, are verifiably and statistically not “moral degenerates” by any criteria not involving having a faith. This is simple to prove, just pick your criteria and then check. The simplest one- prison population versus society theist/atheist ratios. Naive because it seems based around a significant number of unproven statements with very loose criteria. And frightening, because the USA is the current world leading power and yet it's citizens are anomalous against the whole for the rest of the developed western world in terms of their religious fervour and understanding relatively of modern science and knowledge with respect to the prevalence and fervour of the USA Fundamentalists. Countries with significant numbers of recorded atheists/agnostics/non-believers are not beds of seething crime and moral degeneration but can be the most developed and morally strongest of the western nations, such as Sweden (46 – 85%, Denmark (43 – 80%) and Japan (64 – 65%). The USA is rated as (3 – 9%) but there appears to be no significant link between how we may rate a nation and it's proportion of atheists, given that this puts the USA in the same percentages as Mongolia ,Kazakhstan and Albania.

where is the ACLU? Does that Gov. Culver have the legal power to order that the posters be removed? Such removal is blatant “religious discrimination.” Would Culver be “disturbed” by aggressive buddhist or jewish or moslem posters/signs? The fact that he is distinguishing between god and no god religions is illegal and he should be kicked out. Isn't the lawsuit filed already? should jewish people say they are offended by obvious Christian posters? would moslems be offended by hindu posters? This cannot be happening in 2009 ! Where are the lawyers ? !!
