Thank God!!!!



I have just read that there is a growing movement of atheism in America. It's about time!!! There is absolutely no room for religion in politics!

It is fairly common knowledge that a presidential candidate would have no chance if he or she openly admitted being atheist. This is as bad, if not worse, than than any religious discrimination.

However, a very worrying fact is cited:

"In a Republican presidential debate last week, candidates mentioned their faith 16 times, and three said that they did not believe in evolution."


It seems the American atheists have an incredibly large task on their hands to reach their goal of a US that is "one nation under no god". However, it is surely a very worthy cause.

Comments:
Why is it a worthy cause? Religion is an overwhelmingly positive force in American public life, with its culture of philanthropy and volunteering for example. People like the guy pictured are the intolerant ones.
