I wanted to notify readers of an interesting article in the South Florida Sun-Sentinel on atheist groups. It includes interviews with leaders of freethought groups and organizations, like the FFRF, who all note the same trend: a large uptick in the numbers.
In politics-religion news, did anyone see the editorial column, "Suckers" in today's Alligator? Read it. It basically echoes something most of us already know -- that politics and religion make for strange bedfellows. See also this op-ed in the WaPo and this column at faithfuldemocrats.com.
Also, head on over to the Local Groups page at Dawkins' site, and you'll notice AAFSA's listing there. This group page just opened up, but I bet it'll be flooded with entries within weeks. Besides Dawkins' page, I know of only a few others that are popular and have large listings of atheist blogs and sites, like atheismonline.com. The only other pages I know of with extensive listings of freethough groups are all affiliates pages of large organizations like Florida Humanists, AA, SSA, CFI, etc. ( You can see our affiliation with each of those by clicking.) I am an individual member of these groups, as well as the ffrf (who doesn't do affiliations).
