Atheism’s New Clout
posted on May 16, 2012At Salon, Greta Christina highlights the power atheism has in American life, especially in the ability to fundraise for causes and non-profits, bringing in large donations. She also points out that more than 20,0000 atheists participated in the “recent Reason Rally in Washington, DC … in the rain.” Christina outlines a few potent atheist movements and fundraisers, but notes sometimes it is “distressingly difficult to give” atheist money away, as organizations reject what they consider to be controversial donations. “Atheists are your friend. Or they can be. And they can be a very powerful friend indeed.”
