National Day of Reason - 'bout time!!!
Non-believers raising voice in capital
WASHINGTON — Americans who don't believe in God have decided it's time they had a lobbyist in the nation's capital. Their new advocate describes herself as a "soft, fuzzy atheist."
Lori Lipman Brown, former Nevada State Senator starts Monday as executive director of the Secular Coalition for America. Her two goals: keep religion out of government and win respect for a stigmatized minority.
Five humanist and atheist groups formed the Secular Coalition for America after the Sept. 11 attacks, unsettled by talk linking God and patriotism. "That was a major impetus to try to raise our profile," said Duncan Crary, a spokesman for one coalition member, the Institute for Humanist Studies in Albany, N.Y.

Tue, September 27, 2005 - 7:48 AMTV interviews with director/lobbyist Lori Lipman Brown:
Sept. 28, 2005 - O'Reilly Factor (Fox)
"It should be an interesting showdown. O'Reilly is one of the loudest attackers of secular humanism on the air. He constantly misrepresents what secular humanism stands for, painting secular humanists as Satan's minions out to destroy America."

- I hear Preachers mis-represent Secular Humanists & Freethinkers on a constant basis. I see it on the Xian channel on tv every chance they get, they are mis-representing or distorting anything that challenges their Ideologies. I've seen tv Preacher Rod Parsely claim that the principle of separation of church & state came from Communist Russia & claim that that was why Russia failed - a complete lie. Like Senator Rick Santorum, they are at war with secular society. I called the AU & told them about it & they said that they knew & that tv Preachers or any Preacher can say anything they want because there are no laws forcing them to tell the truth. It's the responsibility of the viewer/listener to double-check the information for themselves.
That obviously never happends. Never has. That would be a paradigm shift for xians in & of itself.
