The Conservative Political Action Conference has broken its agreement to
allow a booth hosted by American Atheists. (press release at
http://news.atheists.org/2014/02/25/press-release-cpac-boots-atheist-booth)
Although I am very liberal in my political viewpoint, I know that there
are other atheists who are quite conservative. The position of CPAC
seems to be that it is not possible to be conservative without being
religious. Their stated reason for excluding atheists? The "tone" of the
message from American Atheists. Huh? This from a group that welcomes
such people as Rush Limbaugh and Anne Coulter? Their "tone" is much
harsher toward non-conservatives than the idea that religious equality
is a good thing no matter what political views you may hold.
