Fighting the Faith

This is daring talk in the Christian heartland of Texas. Nick Lee, President of the US Atheist Alliance argues that, "there should be no religious test for the holder of public office", and that law and God should be kept strictly separate in the conservative state. The movement has shocked with slogans like, 'atheism cures religious terrorism', but they're rapidly gaining support."There is no reason to follow the rigid guidelines Christianity has dumped on us", says one follower.
