I am one Atheist who applauds the statement of Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde who is brave in her convictions and her statement [cnn.com]...
I have marched the streets and NATIONAL MALL many times last in April 2017 with enough Greens to surround the White House.....I sang a Holly Near song WE ARE SINGING SINGING FOR OUR LIVES.....TrumpOLINI must be defeated but not by votes for another corrupt racist rapist BidenS
I do NOT recall when racist incompetent Ronald Wilson ReaGUN declared all of 1983 THE YEAR OF THE bible preachers complaining nor filing a lawsuit like Unitarians and Atheists filed in San Diego.....religion and USA printed bibles at taxpayers expense HAVE BEEN WEAPONIZED since 1787 in the NORTHWEST ORDINANCE against Native Americans and Blacks enslaved by a blue eyed Southern METHODISTs jesua Nasoret.... TrumpOLINI deserves out 100% scorn but not upon neoliberal religious grounds
