A self-described "militant atheist" in England was convicted of religiously aggravated harassment on Wednesday after leaving offensive religious material—including a spoof ad for "No More Nails" glue with a smiling Jesus stuck to the cross—in the prayer room of Liverpool's John Lennon airport. Harry Taylor, 59, also left a cartoon showing Islamic suicide bombers at the gates of paradise being told: "Stop, stop, we've run out of virgins!" Taylor argued that the images were satire and that people would be offended only if their faith was "weak."
