I saw a newspaper story a few days ago (I'm sorry, but I don't recall all the 
details) reporting that a city prohibited all religious advertising on buses 
because people were annoyed with advertisements expressing a message by 
Atheists suggesting that there is no G-d. Wouldn't that regulation constitute 
unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination under Rosenberger and Good News Club? 
I have serious problems with some of the Court's decisions that characterize 
discrimination against religious expressive activities as viewpoint 
discrimination. But if that's the rule, it would certainly seem to apply in 
this case as well.
