America doesn't need more God. It needs more atheists.

We need Americans who demand ' as atheists do ' that truth claims be tethered to fact. We need Americans who understand ' as atheists do ' that the future of the world is in our hands. And in this particular political moment, we need Americans to stand up to Christian nationalists who are using their growing political and judicial power to take away our rights. Atheists can do that.

At age 12, when confirmed in the Episcopal Church, I was a true believer. Later I lost that false faith but thought that maybe humanity needed religion; that it was still, at least partially, a force for good. Now I think it is a source for irrational thinking and endless conflict.
