In reply to Mike Hartman. Mike, It would take a lot more than that. But, it'd be a great start.

I am an Atheist. I do not believe in any Gods. I believe in the likeliness of life elsewhere in the universe some which would be more intelligent than us, but even they would not be Gods In the future if we are still around it is my hope that our world has lost the plague of religion. If contact is ever made we could then be seen as intelligent.

Subject: Here is how atheists might be blocked from becoming U.S. citizens

Jim, please sign our petition urging Homeland Security officials to stop requiring that atheists provide religion-based documentation in order to prove they have a moral objection to violence on their citizenship applications. Click here to sign our petition.

Margaret Doughty, a 64-year-old woman from the U.K., has lived in the United States for 30 years. During this time, she founded an organization to raise literacy rates around the country and globe. Unfortunately, now that she has applied for U.S. citizenship, the Department of Homeland Security may deny her application because she is an atheist.

On her application, Margaret declined to “take up arms to defend the United States”—due to her moral opposition to violence. The U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services (a division of DHS) replied that only religious-based objections are valid—instructing her to submit proof of her religion on “official church stationery” by June 21––tomorrow––or they will deny her U.S. citizenship.

Please sign our petition to Homeland Security urging them to grant U.S. citizenship to Margaret Doughty, and to end their unconstitutional policy requiring that applicants provide religious-based documentation in order to prove they have a moral objection to engaging in violence.

Keep fighting,
Paul Hogarth

[…] American Atheists are erecting a monument next weekend at courthouse in Starke, Florida if you are in the area or can make it out, do not miss this historic event! There was a 10 commandments monument given to the city as a gift, instead of removing the monument and not wanting to face a lawsuit, the city accepted an offer to add a bench with atheist and secular quotes. This comes also at a historic time in history, yesterday was the 50th anniversary of the Supreme Court Case that Launched American Atheists. […]
