Are Atheists Victims of Discrimination?

Depends on what you mean by discrimination. Read the article.

Here's an excerpt: 'If by discrimination we mean drawing distinctions at all, then I think most Americans do “discriminate,” and rightly so. Religious belief and practice aren’t like being born black or white or brown or yellow, or male or female. They’re not biological realities beyond the reach of choice. How one views the nature of the universe, humanity, and man’s place in the cosmos–the biggest of life’s big questions–should, like any major choice, have enormous implications for all aspects of life.'

By the way, Princeton is mentioned as particularly non-anti-atheism for all you Princeton fans out there.

Wow, this article was a mouthful. From what I gathered in the article, it sounds like atheists self-select themselves out. And make a stink of it for the rest of us. ???
