I find The Atheist Bus Campaign really offensive.

Oh yeah she did.

It is intended to stop people believing in God

If that is true then I find it massively massively offensive. However...

It's funded by the Humanist Association.

Is only half true. It's run by the Humanist Association but funded largely through public donations (http://www.justgiving.com/atheistbus)

I don't see why people should be discouraged from telling other people what they believe.
They shouldn't. However, neither should people be lied to. Religious belief should always be given as a matter of opinion.

All statements are a matter of opinion. How could they be anything else?

By being a matter of fact. Which, existential philosophy aside, does exist.

I have short hair. Fact
Jesus is the son of god. Opinion.

You have hair that is shorter than some and longer than others. Whether it's absolutely "long" or "short" is a matter of opinion depending on cultural context.
Either Jesus _is_ the Son of God, or he is not - it's a fact of unknown veracity. It's certainly a matter of opinion whether there's sufficient evidence to support rational belief in it.
