New blog!
Hey, I started a brand new blog about Atheism in america... and rightfully titled, "www.atheisminamerica.blogspot.com" I've been itching the atheism itch for quite awhile (the summer) and most of the people that I are subscribed to the blog are religious, and I'd really appreciate it if you would follow the new ones and give comments. I'd really like to hear your guys' thoughts and it'd be great to have some discoussions and (unformal, and nonagressive) debates.

First Atheist President
Note: This isn't supposed to offend ANYONE
Is what I'd love to be. I think that would be pretty amazing.
Alot of presidents have been accused of not being theistic like Abraham Lincoln, and Thomas Jefferson and even George Washington. 3 of our countries greatest leaders all possibly Atheists. I think everyone has a very slanted view on Atheism that needs to be sorted out.
"Why don't Atheists just shut the hell up?"
Well, we've got to listen to a lot of religious stuff, for Atheist students... every day. "I pledge allegiance, to the flag of the United States of America. and to the republic for which it stands, one nation UNDER GOD indivisible with liberty and justice for all" and not to mention the "In god we trust" on the currency.
Atheists are similar to a minority group. We all fight for the seperation of church and state. I don't believe that religion has any place in a court room, legislature, or even in the executive office.
One thing that needs to be cleared up is that Atheists are not anarchists... just because we don't want the ten commandments in front of a court house doesn't mean that we want murder and incest to be legal. We just don't believe that it should all be based soley because "god" talked to a group of people very conveniently when no one else was around... and these people just happened to be strong leaders.
So, as the first Atheist President... I would, open the pledge of allegiance so the word god isn't in there, take it off of the currency, pass laws based on morals and ethics... not based on what the bible says, and not let religion control the government like it is right now... because after all, religious wars are just about who has the better imaginary friend.
Also, one thing I'd like to point out... I'm 100% atheist, not agnostics... Agnostics are unsure of the existence of god. Atheists BELIEVE there is no god. I do not know if there is a god or not, however of what evidence I've seen... I believe that there is no god. And you can't call me agnostic because religous people don't know if there is a god or not... they just believe there is.
