Oops. Got the title Wrong.

An article recently posted on alternet seems to think it's "shocking" that a non-religious parent has been deemed unworthy to receive equal custody of his child based on his agnostic position. While it's reprehensible and clearly shows just how little persecution the religious majority receives, despite their pleas to the contrary, it's in no way shocking. It happens quite frequently. And it's one of the reasons we need events like Skepticon: to remind the public that non-religious people are people to, deserving of the same rights as everyone else. Funny thing is, we don't get them.

The First Amendment guarantees it, but the greater brainwashing of the mob Zeitgeist rarely regulates rarely sees the inherent ironies. Ah, James Madison rolls in his grave once again.

Ah well, you know what they say. If you could reason with religious people, there wouldn't be any religious people.
