Subject: Re: Just curious . . .
A board devoted to atheists will not approach that kind of volume if posts remain within several country miles of the topic identified in the board's name.



Politics is hugely relevant to the growing % of secular people in the US. The GQP is heavily influenced by the God n' Guns club. A substantial % of "conservatives" hold atheists in low regard as atheists tend to support gun control , pro-choice rights, equal rights, separation of church/state, etc.

Hypocrisy abounds in the headline stories.
For example, today's story, "Catholic lobbyists urge Jim Jordan to probe DOJ's handling of attacks on churches, pro-life centers." reeks of relevance to a board who's denizens are acutely aware of the RCC's and Jordans reluctance to deal with the sexual abusers with whom they are affiliated at work.
