Atheism & Freedom

This is an especially good week to be an atheist.

Radley Balko trashed Mitt Romney's idea that a U.S. president must have some sort of faith, the Secular Coalition of America is set to announce on Monday the first openly atheist Member of Congress, and the WaPo has a nice profile of the positively wonderful and unfathomably courageous Ayaan Hirsi Ali, perhaps the world's best known (and most respected and reviled) atheist.
