Billboard Campaign aborted

Sydney Atheists and the Atheist Foundation of Australia Billboard was yesterday pulled from publication by the publishing billboard company on the grounds that in the current environment the billboard would "cause offence or be likely to inflame tensions in the community between religious, racial groups or ethnic groups"

 The  sign had "the potential to create significant tension in the community given all the circumstances (including the political, social or environmental context)”

 Another billboard company was subsequently approached and we thank that billboard company for going ahead with our campaign. Please see the post of the 3rd of February.

    Then shouldn't all religious advertising be pulled for the same reason?
