HALIFAX - Halifax's transit system won't allow an advertisement saying You Can Be Good Without God on its buses.
Metro Transit spokeswoman Lori Patterson says potential ads are reviewed and if it's thought a number of people will be upset the ads are rejected.
Humanist Canada, the company promoting the advertisement, says on its website that it hopes to place the message in bus terminals and subway stations across Canada over the next few weeks.
The Good Without God transit campaign, the website says, was created to reach out to atheists, agnostics, skeptics and other non-believers.
Patterson says Metro Transit has refused other controversial ads in the past.
She says with public transit primarily funded by taxpayers Metro Transit doesn't want to be "any more controversial than we have to be."
