A New Dawn for Atheists?

The numbers are on our side. An influential Pew-University of Akron study pegged the number of atheists, agnostics, and “hard seculars”—folks who don’t check the box for “atheist” or “agnostic” but live without religion nonetheless—at 10.7 percent as long ago as 2004. Recent surveys suggest that yes, Virginia, about 20 percent of young people are atheists. About 15 to 16 percent of the general population identifies with no religion (though a third to a half of them are not truly secular). atheist characters are presented in a positive light on TV shows like House, Bones, and The Big Bang Theory, to name only a few. atheist initiatives like billboard campaigns attract unprecedented, often positive, attention in the news media.
Geez, it smells like a sea change!
Call me an optimist, but I think the dark age of public revulsion toward atheists is soon to end.








Amino to that brother. Lol
