...I don't think that is quite the point.  The man isn't losing his job for having the symbol of faith in his car or van, he is being disciplined for refusing to remove the symbol of faith, when asked to do so, from the company's van, and, from the company's perspective, to do nothing at this stage, would expose them to legal action on other issues in the future.

I still think it is really petty Martin. What harm is the symbol of faith doing? Nothing as far as I can tell - it is just a symbol of faith after all. This is where the priorities are all wrong (IMO).
