Here's a "stimulus package" for Atheists! We know that times are
difficult. Nonbelievers are like everyone else in the country

costs, postponing vacations, cutting back whenever and wherever
they can.

So, American Atheists is making it easier than ever before to join

the effort to give America's unbelieving community "a place at the
