Things like these are a moot issue to decide. I honestly don't know where we should draw the line. This is the kind of stuff that have courts running mad all the time. If you live in the U.S., I'm sure you've heard about the "atheist" license plate again. It was a pro-religion state, so that probably got taken down. Same with baseball team names on license plates that were apparently offensive to Native Americans (the guy intentionally DUG through DMV records to find something to be offended about, yeesh).

Say I was personally offended when I saw something with "God" on someone's license plate. Am I going to win a case? No. It's just as offensive to an atheist as a religious person seeing "There is no God" somewhere, so why won't I win? I have no found the answer yet. And money, what if I say I don't want U.S. money to have any mention of God because I don't want freaking divine intervention in MY money? Won't win because people argue it's tradition. Bull to me, but that's their plead.

In any case, should just crack down on biggotry like racism in guild tags, as well as other obviously offensive names such as names of murderous gangs/organizations. I suppose the list will get bigger as people come up with more stuff. Time will tell.
