Less Angry, More Impact

As we have seen in this year's general election, the more angry a campaign seems to be, the more that particular candidate slips in the polls. People are tired of hearing bitter, angry arguments and want answers.

So what's a godless heathen to do? We are not evangelists. We're not out there doing our best to "witness" to religious folks and try to "turn them to the dark side." We simply want to live our lives and not be dictated to by religous folks who want our government to be Christian, instead of allowing religious/non-religious freedoms. For that, we will speak out.

The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is a fun way of protesting our government and educational institutions giving preference to religious people. It's a good start.

Recently, I've seen another campaign that I really like. Check out the London, England Atheist Bus Campaign. It's not angry, it gets the point across in a benign, tongue-in-cheek way, and it has impact.

I can't help but hope that we here in the United States will follow suit.
