It's time for Atheists to come out of the closet. There are realistically about 30 million of us in the US - that's more than there are Jews in the world - and yet Atheists remain more timid than any other minority. Why is it that Atheists are the only US minority NOT represented in Congress, when we are demonstrably the most intelligent, most well-educated, and highest-earning?
"New Atheism" asserts that not only is religion wrong, it's evil. It corrodes the mind and prevents progress, both culturally and scientifically. All the violent conflicts in the world today are between zealots insisting their god is better than anyone else's god. That includes our War on Terror, which essentially pits our crazed religious fundamentalist president against equally insane Muslim fanatics.
I believe it is time to get off the fence. We're right, they're wrong, and their silly superstitions are holding back the entire human race. So how come we're the ones afraid to make any noise?
