'A' Week!

Sorry folks, I had a full schedule this weekend, and limited time for coffee as well (gasp!)

Welcome to 'A' Week, a movement to show solidarity and support for the atheist movement. So far tens of thousands of people have shown on their online accounts the A for Atheism to raise awareness.

Why is this so important? One of the reasons minority groups become demonized is the perceived distance between people. Before homosexuality became accepted on a public level, people could have never imagined that 9-11% of all the people around them were homosexual. Then people encouraged each other to come out to family and friends, and like prominent GOP Rob Portman, who reversed his opinion about gay marriage upon learning his own son was gay.

In the same way, we want to encourage atheists to come out and show everyone that there are non-believers everywhere in the world, hidden often because of the fear of discrimination, hatred, bigotry, or being shunned by one's family.

Show your support!
