^^^ :tup:

“In Chicago, we now have atheist clubs in high schools. We didn’t have those five years ago. Kids I would have confirmed in the eighth grade, by the time they’re sophomores in high school say they’re atheists. They don’t just stop going to church..." said the president of the US catholic bishops’ conference, cardinal Francis George. I am happy that he feels as alarmed by the growth of atheist clubs in American high schools as I would be if I heard of a significant increase of christian fellowship groups. Either trends reflects a change in attitudes that are bound to result in changes in real life. I don't see how this could not be so.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops. - Stephen J. Gould

Well we could invite them all to come here for a start. :biggrin:
