Hello,
Is the future of action-based atheism looking brighter? It certainly looks that way in the Sunshine State!
This week we'll bring you a series of bold new developments in the secular community around the world. I'll share a sneak peek at some of the exciting work we're doing with PTCAN, the Parent Teacher Community Action Network, and its goal to begin a series of new secular-based community support networks in public schools around the nation. In the next few weeks, we'll be unveiling a series of exciting new projects to ensure that we can keep America's schools the way they should be - inclusive and inviting to individuals and families of all faiths, and lack thereof!
In addition, you'll learn about the legacy of one of the world's most "radical" atheist philosophers - a man who took inspiration from monotheism in his science-based, secular critiques of the mistakes of public policy. And, is racial prejudice preventing more atheists of color from joining our movement? Find out more, below. |

Can Christianity Inspire Atheism?
Perhaps one of the most controversial figures in both politics and atheist though, John Gray stands as a bit of an odd figure in the secular community. Most especially, his presence is confusing because his sources appear to have inspired political predictions that have shown clear and far-reaching results in the 21st century.

Is Inequality Driving Faith In African-American, Muslim Communities?
New thought leaders are presenting the idea that the strong presence of faith in both tight-knit African American communities in urban centers and Muslim extremism may be tied to racial injustice. While that might come as no surprise, what may is the growing movement of atheists of color all across the world.

Chaz Bless Him
He's at it again. After a handful of unsuccessful and highly publicized attempts to promote new policy change to the opening prayer portion of local government meetings, Hallandale Beach resident Chaz Stevens has taken to the streets once again. This time, he's made the news in defense of a cross he erected in honor of and promotion of his new deity status. May all look upon the face of Chaz, and be so inspired.
It's Not Activism If It's Not Fun
