An atheist woman has filed a federal lawsuit against the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission for denying her the numberplate “8THEIST”.
When Shannon Morgan attempted to register the numberplate, her request was denied because 8THEIST “may carry connotations offensive to good taste and decency”, which she claims is a violation of her First Amendment rights of free speech, according to the Associated Press.
The woman reportedly attempted to register “BAPTIST” with out any issues, and so believes that the system is unfairly discriminating against those without faith.
