FluffBunnyAtheist

Somtimes we forget that the American people have a hell of a lot worse to contend with from their shameless theists.

Some days, I can see a very strong picture of the States as painted by Heinlein in his novella part of 'The Day After Tomorrow'...'If This Goes On..."(no, I'm not getting you the link-go find it yourself.It's worth a read.)

This 'soft and fuzy atheist' as she describes herself, is ready to do something about the very real threat.

Brown likens atheists today to gays in the 1970s: people just coming out of the closet to fight for acceptance. "There's been so much rhetoric in the past decade about how important religion is to being a good person," she says, that "it's been scary" for people to say they don't believe in God. She vows to "use the A-word and not cringe."

"We want to get people thinking about what they do that excludes us," she says. "The things that ... perpetuate the idea that we are outsiders - that we can't be patriotic or that we can't be moral or ethical - when in reality our community is tremendously active in making the world a better place to live."

You go, girl.
