BBC NEWS | Council ban on atheist websites

By Margaret Nelson - Posted on 29 July 2008

A city council has blocked its staff from looking at websites about atheism. Lawyers at the National Secular Society said the move by Birmingham City Council was "discriminatory" and they would consider legal action. The rules also ban sites that promote witchcraft, the paranormal, sexual deviancy and criminal activity.

It seems that the software used by Birmingham CC is American in origin. Lots of ignorant people there would equate atheism with the paranormal, sexual deviancy and criminal activity.
