(2005-09-20) -- America's atheists finally have a voice in Washington D.C. to champion the cause of the "amoral minority," and the rights of those who believe in no intrinsic basis for rights.
"For too long, those of us who don't believe in God have been discriminated against because we have no objective standard of right and wrong," said Lori Lipman Brown, the executive director of the new Secular Coalition for America. "We need to let legislators know that the so-called 'morality' upon which our laws are based, is really just a product of uncontrollable electro-chemical reactions in the brain. Our laws shouldn't punish people who violate standards that we don't believe really exist."
Ms. Brown said public educators "pay lip service to 'survival of the fittest', but when it comes to the legal system, we put the best predators behind bars and play nursemaid to the weak, crippled and pathetic creatures who should be culled from the herd."
