		On May 4, 1989, Jon Murray, the president of American Atheists, again wrote to President Bush demanding a clarification of and an apology for his statement that atheists "should not be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered patriots." Bush ignored the letter, as did Gray and Lund.
		Hundreds of angry letters and telephone calls were received at the American Atheist GHQ during the next several months as it became obvious that the elected Congress was composed entirely of politicians too damn yellow to challenge Bush.
		American Atheists ask that you write to George Bush, President of the United States, at The White House, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, D.C. 20500 and ask him for an apology to this group which comprises from 9 to 16 percent of the population.

	American Atheists and the LDS (mormon) church
		Representatives of Atheist groups this morning called upon the President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) to retract statements he made over the weekend against non-believers, and to call off his "new battle" against Atheism.
		Orin "Spike" Tyson, Director of the American Atheist office in Austin, Texas and national commander of American Atheist Veterans, expressed concern over Hinckley's statement, and added: "I hate to tell him, but he was never in MY foxhole, or in any of the other tens of thousands of Atheist foxholes in Vietnam." Mr.
		What for Atheists is a matter of philosophical disagreement becomes, for many religionists, a kind of epistemological "conspiracy theory." Believers are assured that any doubts concerning religious doctrine, including the existence of supernatural entities ("god", "angels", "devils", "hell") should not be considered on their own merits, but as artifacts of diabolical manipulation.

	How Report Atheists to the FBI
		The stereotypes of typical Atheists are the trim, granola cruncher who jogs and plays racquetball or the vain hedonist, party-goer who worships only her full-length mirror, Recent studies have shown, however, that Atheists have become aware of these signifiers of their lack of faith.
		In order to blend in undetected with evangelical Christians, most Atheists now tend to be morbidly obese and will tell you, whether asked or not, that their enormous girth is the result of an undetectable thyroid condition and not the box of Little Debbie cakes they are holding.
		Atheists are too full of their silly "logic" to understand that only blind faith leads to sighted Truth.

		American Atheists supports his position, and we have filed a supporting brief with the court.
		Since the founding of American Atheists in 1963, we have opposed this addition to the Pledge, which in 1954 divided Americans along religious lines and made America's Atheists second-class citizens, people who are less than ideal Americans.
		To Buddhists, Muslims, atheists and others who aren't part of that "ceremonial deism," having their children pledging a belief that the nation was founded under God has a clear religious meaning today.

	American Thinker: Atheists, Conservatives, and Christianity
		In particular, the "atheist" wing of the conservative movement (largely made up of libertarians) is starting to challenge the supposedly predominant role of Christian conservatives within the movement.
		At its most basic level, American conservatism aims at preserving what I will refer to as "the American tradition." By this, conservatives generally mean the core values and principles upon which our nation was founded and prospered.
		If the fundamental "conservative" project is to preserve and protect the American tradition, as represented by the Founding Fathers and their political and philosophical descendents, then both libertarians and Christian conservatives have vital roles to play.

	Atheists identified as America’s most distrusted minority, according to new U of M study : News Releases: UMNnews: ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		From a telephone sampling of more than 2,000 households, university researchers found that Americans rate atheists below Muslims, recent immigrants, gays and lesbians and other minority groups in “sharing their vision of American society.” Atheists are also the minority group most Americans are least willing to allow their children to marry.
		Even though atheists are few in number, not formally organized and relatively hard to publicly identify, they are seen as a threat to the American way of life by a large portion of the American public.
		The researchers also found acceptance or rejection of atheists is related not only to personal religiosity, but also to one’s exposure to diversity, education and political orientation—with more educated, East and West Coast Americans more accepting of atheists than their Midwestern counterparts.
