The Truth About America's Religious Heritage

Religious conservatives often disingenuously claim governmental references to God are merely to "acknowledge our religious heritage." AHA president David Niose takes a close look at that heritage in his Psychology Today blog.

From the latest Humanist Network News, comedian and atheist Troy Conrad writes a hilarious piece on his time as a Scientologist. (They really do hate aspirin, believe in Xenu, and work for no money.)

On Sunday afternoon (between 12 and 1 EST), AHA president David Niose will be on the Fox News Channel to discuss the equal protection lawsuit challenging "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance. This should be interesting!!
