Interfaith atheists

Will Satanists make it through the theological vetting for the Godless Americans March on Washington? | Gene Edward Veith

Christians have long been criticized for their disunity, for splitting up over theological differences and for disagreeing about the nature of their faith. Now atheists are having their own theological disputes and are trying to excommunicate each other over differences as to the nature of godlessness.

The catalyst for this schism is the Godless Americans March on Washington. This event, scheduled for Nov. 2, is designed to emulate other aggrieved groups—from liberal civil-rights advocates to pro-lifers—in putting together a huge crowd to march on the nation's capital to publicize their cause. Godless Americans, inspired by the ruckus raised by the Pledge of Allegiance controversy, will be protesting everything from "In God We Trust" on the nation's coins to their feeling of being discriminated against in the public square.
