Atheist Outreach: Group Coaxes Unbelievers Into the Open

Charles, congratulations on getting your letter to the editor published. We have often tried to get comments into the Letters column of the NY Times as various issues come up, so we know how hard it is to get a newspaper to publish a letter. In fact, New York City Atheists (NYCA) gives a reward of $100 to any of our members who gets a Letter-to-the-Editor published.

I especially appreciated your correcting the number of atheist members that was given in the Sun article. I believe Ken Bronstein told the reporter that our membership "is in the hundreds" but the reporter chose to publish the lowest end of the figure. Actually, New York City Atheists has many more than 100 members--and that's not counting all the other groups that Richie has so successfully put together.

We atheists are on a roll...It's our time now--the Christians have had it for 2,000 years and look how they've messed things up...
