I am enjoying the words, and thoughts, and am still thrilled from my toes to my nose that President Obama recognized that I exist and am as good an American as any other.
Thanks again, Mr. President.

The more I think about it that was one of the best parts. Previous administrations have seen Atheists ass lesser people simply because they do not believe in god. It good to have a President who finally recognizes us.

6. The number of non-believers is greater than any other minority. |
|
The reason nobody pays attention to us is that we aren't a solid voting block. We're pragmatic about so many issues that this one takes a back seat to others.
If we were to vote as a single block we'd have God off our currency, bibles out of public offices and a more rational approach to so many other challenges that face us.

7. People who belong to organized religions aren't called "non-freethinkers." |
|
Why should freethinkers be expressed in the negative term "non-believers?" I believe in a great many things, but no form of organized religion is among them.
