Being an atheist involves some significant hurdles that invariably may or may not be hurdled.
It's like the civil rights movement in the sixties. Under the cover of indifference. Similarly, it could be interlaced with the gay rights movement. Only more insidious, as atheists are looked down upon more than homosexuals in this country, because nobody talks about it, and after all homosexuals may or may not believe in a god. We are not visible and not recognized as citizens by the leaders that are elected to represent us. George H. W. Bush iterated this opinion and I am sure that the vast majority of voters hold the same sentiment. With the uprise of Xtianity in this country and the mandates imposed thereof by morale doctrine and law disguised as biblical doctrine I see one of two things happening. A civil rights movement like that seen in the sixties or a mass migration of non-believers to Europe where secularism holds sway.
I am not kidding, joking or pulling anyones leg. Our civil liberties are being eroded.
The Xtian Right has a definite handhold on the political situation in this country. I don't know how many times I have heard "This wouldn't have happened if they wouldn't have taken prayer out of schools." or "The Ten Commandments belong in that courthouse."
It is very scary. The majority of the voting public in this country are Xtians. Look to them. What do they believe. Read their bible. Non-believers are entirely unworthy of anything in life.
