Off topic...
But you lead it off topic. What is your problem? Oh. Wait. You're just imitating Halofan48's response.

but do you have real evidence of this or are you just regurgitating Michelle Goldberg.
I have no idea how anyone named Goldberg is meaningful. If you are not aware of the discriminatory hiring practices, and the denial of benefits to without religious profession that have occurred on several occasions with faith based organizations that received federal money, then you are being intentionally ignorant. And yet, a "faith based" mission in my town called The Star of Hope Mission requires no profession of faith or religious affiliation. They don't even require attendance at a church service. Guess what! No money from Bush.

Thought so.
You thought wrong. Educate yourself. The information is available. Check out how many of Bush's faith based charities have been sued for religious bias and discrimination.

And what of the Boy Scout's? I was a cub scout and all we ever did was hikes, crafts, and the wooden CO2 powered racers. And when at an Eagle scouts event religion was never a part of the event.
And how is that bit of nonsense meaningful. Are you a girl? Are you homosexual? Are you a professed atheist? I guess you are not aware that the Boy Scouts exclude all of the above, which is a violation of law.

Question: Would you be opposed to donating money to an atheist organization that discriminated against creationist and refused to hire people who were clearly fundie theists?
Yes. Without question. I am an American who believes in the principles upon which my country was founded. I believe that everyone has the right to practice their religion without interference by government, and would strongly object to such illegal discrimination by any employer. In fact, I wouldn't be inclined to donate money to an "atheist organization." What does that mean?
