Religious conservatives angry over atheist White House visit
For the first time in the history of unbelief, atheists are starting to have a voice. Recently, a coalition of secularists and atheists met with the Obama Administration to talk about three pressing issues: the death of kids due to “faith healing”, the increased presence of religion in the military, and faith based initiatives.
Although details of what was discussed are piecemeal at best, that didn’t stop religious leaders from complaining the Administration was essentially meeting with “hate groups”. Religious jackass Bill Donohue couldn’t stop himself from opening his ignorant mouth:
People of faith, especially Christians, have good reason to wonder exactly where their interests lie with the Obama administration. Now we have the definitive answer. In an unprecedented move, leaders of a presidential administration are hosting some of the biggest anti-religious zealots in the nation.
This from the same man who said the victims of child abuse who sued the Catholic Church were “gold diggers“. Yeah, he’s a real swell guy.
Apparently, it’s ok for scumbags like Jerry Falwell and James Dobson to visit the White House, but as soon as atheists try to seek some form of representation in government, we’re instantly labelled as anti-religious zealots. Don’t you just love religion?
Spread the outrage

I say ‘to heck’ with the religious types…their vocalization of this news topic is fear…simple, unadulterated FEAR.

Its about FUCKING TIME that secularists get some white house time. The fact that it pisses off the believers only shows their true colors. Fundies don’t care about equal rights or access, all they care about is having their way. FUCK THEM ALL!!!!
I am so glad that Obama met with these folks. I think Obama is still an atheist (his mother was an atheist) but he turned to religion knowing how helpful that would be for his political ambitions. No different than those republican fuckers who “believe in jesus” and don’t even live a lick of it and run around collecting votes from the gullible.
