The son of bastards used by name “Atheon”…!!!!

The Atheon Temple of Science is an art project conceived by Jonathan Keats. Using a grant from UC Berkeley’s Chancellor’s Community Partnership fund, he created the Atheon in downtown Berkeley office building.

That ain’t right!

But for me personally it's a nonstarter. "Church" and "religion" are terms way too intertwined, in history or the language, with the supernonsensical supernatural for us Atheists to risk getting smeared with by association. Reality--yes! Church--no, IMNSHO. 501-c-3 organizations, like American Atheists, should have *exactly* the same rights and responsibilities as religion-based ones--they are not accountable and should be, period.

The USSC basically stated that religious exemptions were unconstitutional. They didn't become constitutional until the 16th Amendment was passed. So maybe we should be working to repeal the 16th Amendment.<br /> We don’t need no stinking churches.
