Hello, My name is Mason Myatt. I am a 63 year old gay man living alone on a quiet, pretty street in a neighborhood on the eastern side of Birmingham, Alabama.

- About Me
- I am an American Historian (United States) and a retired professor of history. Among the most consistent themes in my teaching from 8th graders to graduate students was the "sanctity" of the 1st Amendment.

We are pleased to welcome you here among the sensible, rational people of this world.
This is a fantastic meeting place with its 14,500 bright people like you who recognise religion for the superstition and brainwashing fraud that it is---
and that God and gods are nothing but fictions wasting space in people's heads.
