I am telling others. They have no idea about Atheists. I like enlightening people. I also like listening to Seth Andrews, "The Thinking Atheist." I am subscribed to American Atheists.

Knowledge, education -- these are the only ways to combat ignorance. Unfortunately, indoctrination is a difficult foe. Presence. Social media. Conversing. Not proselytizing, of course, but being vocal is fundamental to change. I already see immense strides occurring. Positivity helps, too, as frustrating as the religious can be.

Try to picture the 70's... there were former hippies now being like "hippies for christ"... we called them the "jesus loves you freaks". Long Hair, hippie clothes... Lost some friends to it for a while. It was like they had a "bad trip" and ended up trapped inside the bible. My high school wingman and me used to tortured them with rhetoric. Sometimes they used the bible like the new drug we should take to be alive. When one of them told us that he was injecting christ instead of heroin!!!! It was Sad but those were the days... Last Great Decade in America. Post Woodstock to Disco. And everything in between. Now comes "tech jesus" 21st century version in a flash drive.

I helped physically shut down a mega-phone street preacher at a recent demonstration.

I'm not an activist, and I'm not as adamant in my opposition as some people are. I think we can vote in favor of science and against faith-based initiatives, for human rights and against bigotry. Perhaps we can donate to science, technology, medicine, etc. But I'm otherwise unconcerned with taking to the streets to change anyone's mind. I don't have the energy for it, even if I had the inclination.
