Hey Dave,

Can I borrow those rose colored glasses?

Seriously, I fervently hope you are right, but I just don’t see it, at least not in my lifetime (I hope another 30 years if I’m fortunate). I’ll bet if you asked ten people at random on the street, at least half of them wouldn’t even know what the word atheist means. Then, once you explained it, you’d get an extremely negative reaction from nine out of ten.

But whatever it takes, and however I can help – sign me up!

Sorry, I'm just not that optimistic, especially living in the backyard of all these Mor(m)ons. I see on a constant basis the massive ignorance involved in religion, and it's sheep, and that's going to take a hell of a lot longer than 15 years to change, even by a decent amount.

Do you honestly think things will change that much in 15 years in the buybull belt?

Just look how far the gay rights movement has come in the last 15 years. Once people have had all that they can take the anger can be very motivational in organising and bringing about change.
