I have had my Florida vanity tag “ATHEIST” for 24 years now. Out of the blue 8 years ago I got a recall letter from the DMV because my tag was deemed “offensive” because of a letter sent to them by 4 people. I did not return my tag because I was determined to fight for it. After a few months an article about this appeared in a Tampa newspaper and my dilemma spread through the media throughout the US. I even got a call from an ACLU lawyer in Washington DC. I got a call to appear on Good Morning America. The result of all this publicity was a call from the DMV followed up with a letter rescinding their revocation of my “ATHEIST” tag.

I just got denied having a No God license plate here in Alaska, I emailed the dmv about it and contacted my local ACLU, just waiting to hear back from both of them to see what I can do about it. I could have gotten YayGod, LuvGod, OneGod though….but they had already all been issued. Yay for hypocrisy.

I live in Indiana I think the “god” plate is such a load of crap. One thing I like to do is try to look for the regular plates. I know those people made a choice not to pick the “god” plate just like me.

Well, you can’t get a NO GODS license in Virginia. But that’s only because I already have it.

We should get an atheist license plate club together to connect with those of us across the country.

We live in Ohio and I see the offensive “in god we trust” plates almost every day. I would love to see one that reads “NO GODS” on the “In God We Trust” plate!

My 10 year old was reading over my shoulder and said it was offensive. I didn’t tell her whether I thought she was wrong or right, but pointed out that the same state has license plate that says “In God We Trust”.

She said that was offensive too.

How would ‘In Allah we Trust’ go down? After all it is the *same* god!

My only worry is that owners of such cars will find them defaced by supposedly superior people of faith.
