This is written by an Atheist mom, who, for all I know may be a member of this site. I did not check, but I liked and agreed with everything she wrote. It is an opinion piece, of course.

Update: CNN hasn't flagged this iReport as inappropriate, but some community members have. This is a divisive topic, however it does not violate our Community Guidelines, so we ask people to please stop flagging it. We will continue to review the story as often as possible.
