11. "The First Amendment requires governments to protect religious viewpoints" No, it merely

requires that it not interfere with a person expressing their religion or worshipping how they want though even there are limits to that.
For example if you can't cut out another living human's heart to use it in a ritual sacrifice.
Furthermore it does not require the federal government to carry any slogans for any religion on a government owned bus and in fact I would argue that doing so could and would cause the appearance of the government supporting said religion thus it should not be allowed.

I can see this. Because if you allow one, you must allow ALL. oldsoftie Apr 2020 #1
