My way nobody pays for anything other than a piece of metal with a number stamped on it.
But, if you want to get down to it, here in VA we have personalized plates. You can have mountains, a beach scene, military/patriotic regalia......there is a large assortment of themes to choose from, including religion base symbols and what-not. But you pay extra for it. And that is how it should be. I don't see why everyone should have to have someone elses superstitions, delusions or hobbies displayed on their plates, then have to pay to have it masked.
I'm thinking it's just another pathetic, immature effort on the part of some people to protect dying mythologies and press their beliefs on others.
