Hi Cliff.
Just thought I would tell you that I was really impressed by your site, it's reassuring to know there are other sane individuals out there who don't worship the divine nothingness. It seems to me that religion is the psychosis of the normal people, and I think it's great that you have set up a website for atheism. I put on a play which contained anti-religious messages last year, and got accused of being a fascist. It's funny how all belief systems are entitled to political correctness besides atheism. I guess it's probably cos they know we r too close to the truth.
Anyway, good work.
Regards,
Nathalie from Scotland.

Try to track down the book The Kindly Inquisitors: The New Attacks on Free Thought by Jonathan Rauch. It nails this entire issue right on the head, and then offers a grand proposal to work toward solving the problem.
