I hope my local affiliate carries it.

It’s the story of what is often referred to as ‘atheism,’ the history of the growing conviction that God doesn’t exist.”

It is nice to see the media tell the truth.

Well if He doesn't, why don't you stop worrying about it so much? It seems a bit funny that atheists must produce so much material to simply say that God doesn’t exist.

There are agnostics and atheists out there who think they are alone in their thinking.

Websites like this one are support systems to let them know there are like-minded people they can share their thoughts with.

We are bombarded in our daily lives with the beliefs of the abrahmic religions, mostly christianity, in this country. In public, we don’t normally start debates on-on-one with people in the doctor’s office or the grocery store. We don’t deface billboards or church signs.

But in this arena, we can share our thoughts, vent our frustrations and spur action to salvage our right to freedom from religion and to maintain the wall of separation of church and state.

It would be oh, so pleasant if all this weren’t necessary. If we weren’t considered less than full citizens. If the religious would keep their religion private and out of the public domain and our government. Until that happens, we will have to keep making noise.
