"More to the point: If your faith is so strong that it would inspire you to voluntarily stand in line at the DMV — and let’s face it, that’s strong — then why do you need it stamped in cold, hard metal on your vehicle’s ass?"

There isn't a problem as long as EVERY religion can create a plate design. The UUs are easy: a question mark.

But dealing with pagans can be complicated; do they get one generic design or does each craft get a different one? And are Satanists pagans?
