Civil rights for atheists

Some people, apparently, think that civil rights don't extend to atheist Americans. Incredible and depressing. (Click for a higher-res version).

  1. Some websites call it a hoax but it could be real. Which is more scary?

  2. Then of course there's the history of 'In God We Trust', which was not part of the forefathers' conception of the US.

  3. The letter itself is a hoax, in the sense that it was written as a joke, but a lot of people took it seriously, because a lot of people really do talk like that.

    There are plenty of people would agree with everything in that letter...sadly.

  4. Haaa... right. I'm glad it's a hoax, but, yeah, it certainly could be real.

  5. No relief just yet: be ready for a whole lot of insanity by those folks who think the President-elect is a 'traitor' and 'secret Muslim'. It's gonna be a crazy few years.
