WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)The Republican Presidential candidate Ted Cruzs constant references to Jesus Christ in his speeches and campaign ads are sparking a strong interest in atheism among millions of Americans, atheist leaders report.
Since Sen. Cruz (R-Texas) announced his candidacy two weeks ago with the words God isnt done with America yet, a substantial number of Americans have begun seriously questioning the existence of God, said Carol Foyler, the executive director of the American Society of Atheists.
Its been amazing, Foyler said. Were getting calls from people who are curious about atheism for the first time in their lives. And when we ask them what got them thinking about it, they all say the same thing: I just heard Ted Cruz talk.
Foyler said that her group often notices a surge in atheism after natural disasters or other traumatic events that rattle peoples faith, but, she added, Weve never seen anything like Ted Cruz.
