12. Now substitute "anti-theist" for "anti-rationalist"
And you'll understand why I so often LOL.

13. Hey, there's always
the term "Godless," which while accurate also antagonizes some.

14. Only when combined with the term "Pagan"
Atheists are godless as they have no gods.

I am a Pagan and I have a God, not to mention a Goddess.

16. Then you aren't godless
There ya go. Frankly, It isn't an issue for me either way. If worshipping the last episode of Friends helps anyone get through the day, I'd say go for it.

15. Opening stats
GAMPAC - Godless Americans Political Action Committee
Atheist-Secular PAC
www.godlessamericans.org

Estimates that there are roughly 30 million non-religious Americans, which is larger than most religious denominations except for Roman Catholics - 50M and Baptists 33 million.

Only about 40 million Americans regularly attend church.


Pretty boring people so far.

18. Great! It's really just a matter of time before the word Atheist is...
...rehabilitated here in the States. Same with Secular Humanism.

Obviously it shouldn't have ever been demonized (Irony?) but since it was things like the AA PAC are needed.
