A Christian bus driver has refused to drive a vehicle which was plastered with an advert saying: "There's probably no God."
Ron Heather, 62, told his bosses he was horrified at the atheist vehicle, before walking out of his shift.
He told the Daily Mail: "I was just about to board and there it was staring me in the face. My first reaction was horror.
"I'd heard about this silly campaign in London but I had no idea it was coming to Southampton."
The First Bus vehicle was one of hundreds put on buses across the UK.
The £140,000 atheist advertising campaign features the slogan: "There's probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life."
The fundraising drive was prompted by a suggestion from comedy writer Ariane Sherine, who received support from the British Humanist Association (BHA) and atheist campaigner Richard Dawkins.
Ms Sherine had objected to a set of Christian advertisements running on London buses in a piece written for the Guardian's The Comment is Free in June.
