Hi! We're your friendly neighborhood atheists. :)

"Special Report: Atheists--Inside the World of Non-Believers"
“We're strong. We’re in your face. We are provocative.”
Airs Tuesday, March 24th, at 9 ET/PT"
("CNN Special Report: Atheists: Inside the World of Non-Believers,” "CNN,"

“Atheism on the Rise: CNN Investigates ‘The World of Non-Believers'"
“CNN asks ‘Is there a God?,' while promoting a special report on atheists airing Tuesday, March 24th at 9 ET/PT.
"The program will include interviews with American Atheists’ President David Silverman, pastor-turned-atheist Jerry DeWitt, and leading scientist Richard Dawkins.
"A clip previewing the program suggests the focus will be on the risks and rewards associated with ‘coming out' atheist to friends, family, professional colleagues, and most importantly, one’s self.
“In addition to the upcoming special report, CNN has also been airing a controversial ad featuring Ron Reagan describing himself as an atheist who is 'not afraid of burning in hell' while warning of “the intrusion of religion into our secular government.”
"The ad promoting the Freedom From Religion Foundation aired on both ‘The Daily Show’ and 'The Colbert Report' on Comedy Central last year. However, it has been rejected not only by ’60 Minutes,' the original desired placement, but by the entire CBS TV network.
"In fact, ABC, NBC (including the cable network MSNBC), CBS and Fox all have declined to run the ad, but it has aired locally in some metropolitan markets.”
Cowards! :)
