Prosthetic Conscience

Let’s let atheists back into politics

A good article by Mike Whitney in the Smirking Chimp. Despite a few minor factual errors (dude, the American Revolution was before the French one), it emphasizes how far atheism has fallen in America, from being a central part of the philosophical foundation of our political system to being the last taboo. I don’t know the solution — maybe some kind of organized presence, or atheist pride marches. What will be the atheist Stonewall?
