I did not attend the Skep Dakota conference yesterday, but did make it to a recording of the podcast and radio show, “Ask an Atheist” last night. While I am NOT an atheist, I find their conversations about humanism and science interesting. They got on the topic of racism and sexism within the upper leadership of the Atheist movement. I think I asked a question about atheists being no different then right wing Christians in their beliefs about mankind.
I’m not aethist. However, religious freedom is constitutionally protected. This also means you don’t have to be religious and there should be no prejudice because of your belief. What’s important tho is the separation of church and state. Peace in the middle east could be possible if religion didn’t pose a continuous Crusades type conflict.
In words the mayor will understand:
Stop painting ‘Jesus’ on snowplows and firetrucks.
