Here in the UK, unlike the US, we are mercifully free of religious statements on signs and hoardings in public places. Nevertheless, there are a few signs on church noticeboards etc. - "God is Love", that sort of thing.
Should these be banned as involving claims which cannot be supported?

Absolutely not. That is bull crap. Why?
1: freedom of speech. I don't care what laws are in the UK, they should have this too!
2: Freedom of religion. Also a freedom.
3: It can be supported. I know people who could never lose a debate on Atheism. You can only get mad and call it a draw.
4: Atheism cannot be supported well. I can and have backed people believing in the big bang into a corner of "I just don't know and it cannot be explained".

Where I live, in Northern KY, there are very few religious statements other than church billboards and bumper stickers. Though this area is majority Conservative Christian, it's pretty quiet as far as that goes. This is, of course, excluding certain neighbors who have taken it upon themselves to save the heathen down the road.

Religious advertising sounds like a rather perverse idea to me, so I think we would be better off without such a thing. I can't wait for the planet to be free of religion and advertising. They have rather a lot in common.
However, 'God is Love' is a statement that is easily proved.

Thankfully here in the United States we have freedom. Which I guess was the main reason we kicked your UK butts off the continent in the first place.

Wouldn't that fall under freedom of speech? I am a firm believer that all censorship is bad. Just ignore it if it bothers you.

If that was the case, then we would need to censor all political speeches, rallies, etc... as well. If there is one person to never trust, it's a politician.
