The BBC reports that the while the US is one of the most religious countries in the west, it is undergoing a period of doubt.
It may be daring to say it but America seems to be experiencing an atheist moment. Although “In God We Trust” was declared the national motto by an act of Congress more than 50 years ago and has been stamped on the currency for longer than that, some considerable doubt has developed of late.
…
More than anything, people without faith hate the description of them as empty or soulless. They have long been singled out for a special kind of hell.
The constitution of the state of Texas, for example, allows discrimination against atheists in employment or jury duty – provisions that have been nullified by federal laws.
And even my mother used to lower her voice in the kind of whisper reserved for people with terminal brain cancer when she described a neighbour as…. an atheist.
Non-believers say they have also been aided by the revulsion of fair-minded Americans to the religious zealotry behind the September 11 attacks and the subsequent violence on behalf of radical Islam.

Yep, they call them maras (gangs) too bad.
Panama is getting full of gingos (yanks) and there has been some sort of commercial BOOM. Good for the economy I guess.

Dear FSM,
Please grant that my brother Elliott (He’s kindof a farfalle) gets his NSF grant so that he may uncover more lies about the age of the universe, and the existence of global warming, that you have put on earth to trick our feeble minds.

A new website addition: Debate Points by RichardDawkins.net
“I thought we might try a new section here at RichardDawkins.net called “Debate Points”. A lot of people have mentioned that we need to stay on top of the arguments for and against the debate points we will meet. Some seem to never die (Hitler/Stalin, Morality), and we can always improve our arguments. Let’s use the comment space on this post to brainstorm some points that we can start discussions on…..
Here are some we can start with (click on each topic to go to its own thread):” (Richard Dawkins)
Arguments Against Evolution
.
Hitler, Stalin, Mao, etc. were atheists, and they were terrible!
.
You can’t be moral without God!
.
Religion is not incompatible with Science: ‘Non-Overlapping Magisteria’
.
Atheism is a religion and you’re as bad as the fundamentalists
.
.
There are many more of the most common topics there which are constantly bought up by the fundies.
