August 24, 201214 yr Is there even a national group that reps atheists? I've never heard of an atheist group pushing anything? My guess, though, is that Mt Ref considers the ACLU to be atheists.
August 24, 201214 yr Author As to your first statement: Many things were "done for decades" that aren't now. Jim Crow, segregation, voting rights, etc. To your second: I will remind you that the GOP (God's part to some), have controlled the White House in 5 out of the last 8 elections. They have also controlled the Congress for as much or more years than the "immoral" office people you speak of. The truth is that the courts have been controlled by both parties at different times (even the Supreme Court has as many or more justices chosen by Republican Presidents) so your hypothesis doesn't wash in my eyes. They are all immoral, not just a few, but majority are immoral and out for themselves and the lobbyist who control them.
August 24, 201214 yr Author I love the ACLU, especially when they send me mail so I can pack it full of newspaper ads and mail it back with old clippings.

There are. They don't have a whole lot of influence, but they tend to show up in certain church/state relations issues and when someone is trying to get creationism/intelligent design into a science classroom.
August 24, 201214 yr This whole thread makes me thankful that I had the ability to send my kids to Catholic schools.
August 24, 201214 yr Author I am also thankful for those coaches and groups who do NOT back down to the atheist groups.

Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) are atheists. They call themselves "freethinkers." Their avowed statement, on their webpage, is that "religion is poison."
August 25, 201214 yr Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) are atheists. They call themselves "freethinkers." Their avowed statement, on their webpage, is that "religion is poison." Do they represent atheists anymore than Westboro Baptist represents other Baptists?
August 25, 201214 yr Author Do they represent atheists anymore than Westboro Baptist represents other Baptists? Probably because the government bows down to them as do most who get the big bad letter saying we are suing and going to court.
August 25, 201214 yr Probably because the government bows down to them as do most who get the big bad letter saying we are suing and going to court. Reread my question.
August 25, 201214 yr Do they represent atheists anymore than Westboro Baptist represents other Baptists? Before this thread I didn't even know who they were.
August 25, 201214 yr I am also thankful for those coaches and groups who do NOT back down to the atheist groups. I'd tell those groups to "kiss my rumpus". Edited August 26, 201214 yr by True blue (and gold) Rule 8
August 25, 201214 yr Do they represent atheists anymore than Westboro Baptist represents other Baptists? This group always leaves me scratching my head.
August 25, 201214 yr This whole thread makes me thankful that I had the ability to send my kids to Catholic schools. AGREE 100%
