Atheist Outreach: Group Coaxes Unbelievers Into the Open
in response to reader comment: The clergy and their ambivalent flock

The time for exposing the lies, misunderstandings and general ignorance associated with the public condemnation of atheism is long overdue! A lot of people need some serious education regarding atheism, and it's not going to happen unless atheists speak up and demand the respect that they are rightly due. We are no threat to anything that is honest and good, and if our criticism of religion makes some people uncomfortable, perhaps it is because their cherished beliefs sit on a foundation of sand. Surely, we can openly discuss the evidence and strive for a higher plane of discourse free of the usual lies and elementary misunderstandings. Dave E. Matson The Oak Hill Free Press Pasadena, CA
