A Christian bus driver refused this week to drive a London bus that displayed an atheist advertisement saying: "There's probably no God, Now Stop worrying and enjoy your life" on the side and walked out of his shift in "shock" and "horror."
The driver from Southampton in Hampshire said he was horrified last Sunday when he was just about to start his shift "and there it was staring me in the face, my first reaction was shock horror," driver Ron Heather told BBC radio.
"I felt that I could not drive that bus, I told my managers and they said they haven't got another one and I thought I better go home, so I did," he said. "I think it was the starkness of this advert which implied there was no God."
Heather's employer First Bus said it would do everything it could to ensure that he did not have to drive the offending buses. After meetings with First Bus managers on Monday, Heather has agreed to return to work. |
