Have you had it with Falwell, Dobson, Robertson, and their ilk? There is something you can do. Today.
You can sign the petition at First Freedom First and tell the religious right that they are totally wrong.
I am writing as a "believer" who also believes that it is every American's right to have freedom FROM religion if they so desire.
Here's what I'm talking about (major hat tip to Mock, Paper, Scissors):
In five states it is illegal for atheists to hold public office. Faith-based groups providing services (and paying for them with tax money) require a litmus test of their employees; they can and do discriminate based on religion. In GA, one organization, which takes FEDERAL TAXPAYER MONEY, requires the job applicant to list his church and the name of the minister.
The Religious Right is pushing legislation to force restrictions on the right to die with dignity, imposing their theocratic standard on all Americans. Saving the cancer patient’s immortal soul is more important than easing pain and letting the individual die with dignity.
And don't get me started about creationism, intelligent design, gay marriage, and the whole host of fertility/pregnancy issues that Dobson and co. wanna shove their filthy hands into.
Don't get me started about Attorney General Gonzales, either. I will mince the words here that I didn't at my own blog.
There is an organization working to DO SOMETHING about all of these issues, which are ALL based on
SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE.
It's called First Freedom First, and you can go to their website and sign the petition which will be presented to Congress saying "enough is enough" to the so-called "Christian" Taliban in this country.
BTW I am not on their payroll. I just really believe in what they're doing. (Thanks much for recommending this diary.)
