The authorities treated it the same as someone wearing a shirt that said 
"nigger" on it or something. Basically, it was insulting and harassing the 
people who aren't atheists. They treated it the same way as they would have 
treated someone religious preaching at you during class.

The fundamental problem is that religious people have figured out that they 
can complain that *other* people aren't religious in the same way they are, 
and that's somehow harmful to them. Of course, it *is* harmful to their 
beliefs, but they're not going to argue "it points out how wrong we are" as 
a bargaining point, so instead you get this generalize "offends me" kind of 
argument.
