Caught in the Disbeliefnet

[excerpt from current.com] Early on in Religulous, Bill Maher throws up a bar chart illustrating the number of people in America who are non-religious. That number is 16%, more than blacks, more than Jews, more than numerous other minority groups who seem to have no problem making themselves heard and getting Congress to do their bidding. Maher wonders aloud why non-religious people are so underground, and why they aren’t having an impact on the national discussion. His film is aimed squarely at that 16% of the country, and almost no one else. His goal, and he clearly has one, is to give those people the motivation they need to come out of the closet and do something… before it’s too late.
I too believe that the pro-reason, non-religion, I don’t know-ists need to be more vocal with their “beliefs.” And remember, this approach is NOT atheism! Atheism means you’re CERTAIN there is no higher power, which in it’s own right, IS a religion. Anyway, enough god talk. For those who question the lack of rational, independent thought within religion check this site out!
