A new study done by the University of Minnesota reveals that atheists are the country's most distrusted minority.  I continue to find it amusing that some people try to accuse atheists of promoting some sort of secular religion, the ultimate aim of which is to turn every church to rubble and legally mandate bacchanalian orgies in front of every elementary school in America.  I read one post somewhere on the Internet that said, "Atheism is a religion like not collecting stamps is a hobby."  While I long for the day when atheism isn't regarded as malevolent ideology, I will not waste my time writing screeds exhorting the masses to abandon faith and embrace humanist ideals.  But this study might prompt me to shelve any political aspirations I might have.  Instead, I might have to infiltrate the staff of some innocuous Unitarian or Congregationalist and use his or her office to promote my godless agenda. 

 

I do get some comfort from the fact that liberal men are better in bed, which assures me that there is some small degree of justice to be found in the universe. 

"Atheism is a religion like not collecting stamps is a hobby."

Brilliant analogy. I'm filing for future reference. :)

And, being very happily married to a very liberal man, I can attest from first hand experience that the reports are true.
