Why don't we start our own version of such an organization? We could call ourselves the Ingersolls, the Russells, or otherwise name ourselves after a well-known former Atheist (and a better role model than Gideon!) and leave Atheist literature, such as the non-tracts available from ffrf.org or our own material that points out the errors/inconsistencies in the Bible, in hotel rooms? The Gideons encourage men who travel a lot or stay in hotels a lot to join their organization; why can't we do the same (and include women too)? Instead of merely recycling the Bible, why not contribute our own material, agreeing to leave those Bibles alone as long as our pamphlets are left alone too? Am I being too optimistic here?
