Cornerstone

We're working on getting our core membership built up so we can start getting things organized. Meanwhile, here's something for you all to get involved in!

The Census is upon us, and it's your chance to deliver some semi-anonymous information to the government so you can be properly counted. Just a formality, helps determine population and distribution of federal money based on such statistics. No, it's not the Government being intrusive or brainwashing your kids with socialist ideals, it's basically just a big head count.

Of course, there's the ever present "Religion" question. Intrusive, maybe, but it's still a valid demographic to gather information on. If you're an out Atheist, or are sitting on the fence, this is a great way to make a statement without letting anyone know and causing drama.

Why should you check Atheist? Well, honestly, we ourselves wouldn't mind knowing how many of us there are with a bit more accuracy for starters. And it also sends a message to all the other demographics that have their rabid faith practices: We're here, we're many, and we're growing in numbers.

Tell the United States government and her people that there are people who are freeing themselves from the bonds of bias and bigotry, able to let the fairy tales go and concentrate on being a good human being while they have their time here on Earth.

The larger we get, the more people take us seriously. The more people that take us seriously, the more people learn the truth about who and what we, as Atheists, really are, and they learn that what they thought about us was just absolute nonsense. The more people learn, the more people stand a chance of becoming understanding - and even accepting or tolerant.

So when the Census taker shows up, or when you get your form, answer the question proudly, and with a great big crimson capital A...
