For those who haven't seen it, the AHA has launched a new atheist "naughty" ad campaign.

I'm running down the isles! Wheee! Glad to be here!

I'm going back to school for philosophy. I'd like to incorporate Humanism. Any way to do this? Are there courses offered?

Distrust Feeds Anti-Atheist Prejudice - Miller-McCune

Research finds atheists are widely perceived as untrustworthy, which may be a factor in why they're disliked more than other minorities.

http://www.miller-mccune.com/.../distrust-powers-anti-atheist-preju...

"People use cues of religiosity as a signal for trustworthiness," the researchers write in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. Given that “trustworthiness is the most valued trait in other people,” this mental equation engenders a decidedly negative attitude toward nonbelievers.

There is no actual evidence backing up the assumption that atheism somehow leads to a decline in morality. In a 2009 study, sociologist Phil Zuckerman argued that "a strong case could be made that atheists and secular people actually possess a stronger or more ethical sense of social justice than their religious peers," adding that they, on average, have "lower levels of prejudice, ethnocentrism, racism and homophobia" than the much larger population of believers.

For those who haven't interacted with social workers this is kind of a hard problem to describe. Essentially, Social workers have a code of ethics, in this code of ethics, there is a standard of cultural competence. It says: "Social workers should obtain education about and seek to understand the nature of social diversity and oppression with respect to race, ethnicity, national origin, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, marital status, political belief, religion, immigration status, and mental or physical disability." I feel the exclusion of Non-religious as a category is getting the way of social workers being culturally competent with secular groups. So I started a petition. http://www.change.org/petitions/nasw-include-non-religious-a-catego...

Well the thebricktestiment.com website has really opened my eyes by warning me of all the nudity, sexual content, violence, and cursing in the holy scriptures....I'm sure keeping my kids away! I'm glad they added a warning for parents.   Addicted to looking at nudey Lego people...what a shameful sight.  One guy in Epistles has beard stubble...a sure sign of Lego wickedness.
