An Atheist response to the American Family Association?
Even though I am not an Atheist, I will fight for one's right to be free from religious imposition to the death.

So, I became interested when I heard about Atheist Activist.
http://www.atheistactivist.org/index.html

They list everyday actions you can take to fight the religious right.

The thing that I'm interested in though are the boycotts and counter-boycotts (buycotts) sections.

I'm thinking of providing some support to this organization, because they truly might be the Anti-AFA.

1. Thanks for this.
I *am* an atheist and I'll be putting this link to good use.

Thanks much.

3. That site blurs the distinction between government and private activity.
For example, it suggests trying to stop people from soliciting for church fundraisers at one's place of employment. Such activity is not tied to the government and is a freedom we all should enjoy. Athiests can solicit for their organizations' fundraisers, too.
