Well! I am an American and I am an atheist so joing this group was the logical thing to do I think!

Here's a good point that's well spoken:
When the words 'under God' were added to the Pledge of Allegiance between 'one nation' and 'indivisible,' Stewart claims, "They made a lie out of both those ideals because you can't have an indivisible nation if you draw a line between the godly and godless. We all belong here."

HELEN KAGIN, FREETHOUGHT HEROINE, DEAD AT 76

HELEN KAGIN died early this evening following complications from cancer surgery. She was 76.

Kagin was a heroine and activist in the Atheist movement. Along with her husband, attorney Edwin Kagin, she co-founded Camp Quest, a summer camp for the children of nonbelievers, which has grown into an international outreach. She and Edwin were frequent guests at various conventions, and belonged to several freethought groups.

In 2005, Helen and Edwin were named "Atheists of the Year" at the National Convention of American Atheists. Helen was active in the Free Inquiry Group of Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. She worked closely with Edwin and others organizing countless demonstrations and meetings, including the Rally for Reason which attracted hundreds of pro-science supporters who peacefully protested outside the opening of the Creation Museum in Petersburg, KY.

She was an outstanding wife, mother, friend to so many; and Helen also had an illustrious career as an anesthesiologist.

We will miss her infectious laughter, her wonderful friendship, and stalwart support for the cause of Reason and state-church separation.

Helen Kagin will be cremated. Edwin Kagin asks that expressions of sympathy in the form of donations be used to send kids to Camp Quest. There will be further announcements, including details of a Memorial event.

LOHAN IS TARGET OF RELIGIOUS BIGOTRY; AND CATHOLIC LEAGUE'S DONOHUE NO FASHIONISTA

An Atheist civil rights group said today that the Catholic League and other Christian advocacy groups have "no business" demanding an apology from actress Lindsay Lohan because of photographs that appeared in a French fashion magazine.

Lohan, a former Roman Catholic who is involved in an openly gay relationship, appeared recently in a robe wearing a crown of thorns and a Latin Cross. Bill Donohue of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights said that the photos were "inappropriate" due to the Lenten season, and demanded an apology from Lohan.

Dr. Ed Buckner, President of American Atheists, described Donohue's charges as "absurd," adding that the Catholic leader was "no civil libertarian and no fashionista."

"Actors, film makers and writers have a long history of being attacked by the churches, and this is just another example," said Buckner. "Ms. Lohan is in good company -- many pop stars have been the target of the Catholic League's indignation, including Madonna and Britney Spears. What Donohue seems to forget is that no one is being forced to buy albums or magazines, and that in America, churches do not dictate the content of popular culture."

Dave Silverman, Vice President and Communications Director of American Atheists, noted that Atheists, Freethinkers, Humanists and other godless Americans do not try to censor religious artists who express their beliefs.

"If someone chooses to express themselves, no matter what the reason or position they take, that is a private matter and it is up to them," said Mr. Silverman. "It is certainly not up to religious organizations to regulate or censor such a basic American right as Freedom of Expression, and we really wish they’d stop trying. Ms. Lohan can wear whatever she likes, wherever she likes, and owes nobody an apology.”
