Controversy was sparked last week when an atheist society at University College London posted an image of ‘Jesus and Mo‘ (Muhammad) on their Facebook page.

After the UCL union asked the group to remove the picture, petitions and counter-petitions were started.

Now, the president of said atheist society has stepped down, citing the stress of being involved in the controversy.
