Well the chart and synopses is interesting, what I found most interesting how much of a evangelical Atheist you are. This shows evidence, once again, that atheism is a religion.

Y’all have denominations, y’all organize camps to indoctrinate your philosophy to young children, y’all publish books and promote atheism, evidence also here by your concerns to do so. You definitely belong to a religion!

I’m truly sorry to hear about your son.  I lost my only brother, he was only 27…yeah, no one can tell me God is love and God is All That Is and God is the Creator of Love but we humans are the faulty ones and we get what we deserve.  The truth is very painful.

Anyway, thanks a lot for these statistics!

It would be ridiculous for an Atheist to show up at a media outlet with a request that they give Atheism more coverage because the “editor” would then ask, “We would be glad to cover your events. We may even send a photographer. Where did you say you are meeting?” And our only answer would be a “duh”. Yes, we can get smug about the appearances of Dawkins, Hitchens, Harris, Dennett, et al but locally, we are non-existant. Is it any wonder that “the other guys” don’t trust Atheists?

Also, the only common theme that identifies us is that we don’t believe in Gods! That leaves a lot of room for differences. What can the world expect from us?

In my attempts to get the Milesians (http://www.milesians.net) started I have had a heck of a lot more positive interest from the religious community. Pastors and priests have used my web site to point out where their followers may be missing the point, and how Milesians appeared to be just as moral, if not more moral, than practicing Christians. I have had absolutely NO comment from (fellow?) Atheists. I am not about to “cross over” but I know I would be a lot more welcome as a “convert to Christianity” than I could as a “convert to Atheism”. I often wonder if deep down, Atheists use “faith” that being a non-believer is enough!

My observations, and those of my Atheist grandfather, is that Atheists are just too comfortable in their perceived role as “non-joiners” and “annon” critics. He hoped that Atheism would emerge during my life time. I hardly think so!

But i do think non believers need to become organised , though we have no belief in gods most of us still have morals and most likely would find common ground within groups such as humanitarian organisations .In coming out of the closet as it seems many are at the moment , its a good time for some solidarity to be harvested .

Within the machine of religion there is much money and the power base that is the result .To help combat this power the need for finance to compete with getting our reasons for non belief out into public view so its also heard , finance will be needed to make this posible .

But thankfully alot of things such as this http://www.kgan.com/template/inews_wire/wires.national/2a53d9cf-www.kgan.com.shtml speak for themselves . The main thing we must continue is to continue making lots of noise and not bow down to the many false feeble accusations suggesting non believers are just angry bad people who lack morals .And just keep pointing to the facts that we infact have very good reasons for our position , making good use of bringing to peoples attention all nasty practices that religion so readly makes available to be seen .

We should not let the likes of the bigotry of religion that disallows comments of our thoughts on their blogs etc worry us to much .Infact if we highlight this blatant bigotry it will only serve to work against the false power that seeks to label those without belief as being bad , and actually show some within belief the nature of the falseness of what they follow .

So everytime you post on a fundy`s blog make a copy of your post and link it to another blog , where it can be to be seen and be in view for all to see if religious bigotry is or is not offering fair and equal comment .As all can then see just what is allowed and what is not .That being a way to expose those within religion who only seek to allow one point of view .
