LINK An Atheist’s Guide to Herding Cats

"Richard Dawkins once said, “Indeed, organizing atheists has been compared to herding cats, because they tend to think independently and will not conform to authority. But a good first step would be to build up a critical mass of those willing to 'come out,' thereby encouraging others to do so. Even if they can't be herded, cats in sufficient numbers can make a lot of noise and they cannot be ignored.” While this is very amusing and also a very realistic analogy, I think it should be something we should consider devoting some time to working on. Because being a “freethinker” shouldn’t also mean being a complete loner too."

I do not have any problem expressing myself as a Atheist to any one. Have met several who are afraid to "come from behind the pulpit". Peer pressure is a tough thing, or maybe they just try to humor me. Who knows.
