Gotta use the Bible as the reason when road-sign theft isn't a problem.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Route_666
Mile marker 420 had that problem.
It wouldn't make sense for religious people to outright steal an item they see blashphemous; they wouldn't want to keep it around.
I suspect edgy people just wanted the cool sign.
That being said, I definitely can see religious people vandalising them.
