		The pressure will only increase if a small but motivated political action committee called the Godless Americans Political Action Committee (GAMPAC) has their way.
		Fortunately, few reporters showed up at the press conference to announce the formation of the new PAC, which Ellen Johnson, the president of American Atheists, termed a "young movement." But Ellen Johnson and her like-minded followers believe there is a potentially large constituency with the potential to be mobilized.
		Johnson is quoted on the Godless Americans PAC webpage: "We intend to 'grow' GAMPAC into a useful and effective vehicle for giving Atheists, Freethinkers, Humanists and other nonbelievers more of a say at the ballot box and in the halls of Congress and state legislatures."

	New atheist political tactic: threaten to endorse candidates to gain support - TheologyWeb Campus
		Atheists and other nonbelievers set up a political action committee yesterday to endorse candidates and lobby lawmakers to remove all traces of religion from the government.
		Johnson presents a common fallacy among atheists: people who do not claim religion are "godless." Nothing like padding your positions numbers with misrepresented facts, false interpretations and plain old lies.
		If GAMPAC were only about secularism, she possibly would be in a better position to claim the non-religious were on her side, but it's not.

		"It's true that we're only 14% of the voting population at this time; but it is a remarkable turnout and suggests that Atheists, Freethinkers and other so-called 'seculars' who are concerned about the First Amendment are more and more thinking of themselves as a potential voting block."
