1. The atheist groups that I am a member of merely talk about, and some actually do, having similar slogans on busses in their home towns. Some discuss what would be the best words to use. Overall, there is no ‘correct’ nor ‘incorrect’ to the issue. 2. No. Since I guess people care about ‘reasons’, one of countless ones is that, in this case, all we have at this time is tabloid rumor and innuendo. If ‘we’ start using that as a basis for trials, as corrupt as the system is, it would be entirely doomed.
