Chris Bontrager, a man from Goshen, Indiana, was denied permission to get a custom plate registration reading “ATHE1ST” by the Indiana Burea of Motor Vehicles (BMV). The authority sent a letter stating that the license plates are denied if they are deemed improper, offensive, or misleading. Bontrager, who had already paid for the registration, sought help from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).

The ACLU appealed to the court against the BMV’s order citing that the decision seems religiously motivated, and the state cannot show preference to one religion over another. This prompted the BMV to retract the order and allow Chris his license plate. Bontrager now proudly drives around with his personalized license plate. (source)
