id
within a lot of growth
exciting time for novelist american but we are
building movement from college campuses
so what you tell me you're gonna see that's that's what you're doing for
dom people who do you go toward that private but
i think secular american could not be a usually how we like the product of
that's prob of facile how many college campuses how many members of his this
thing really blown up
of it it's really exploding reply in
you you're going to go to heaven we had ninety campus group
two years later we had a hundred seventy nine the pure already we have over two
hundred ten over two hundred thirteen changes almost everyday
isn't doubling in three years this is a pretty big deal
so it says i thought it was right
you secular progressives are coming
covered over are and being looking at the demographic
unit
this generation coming up right now if the least religion
and
i'm typing politicians are recognizing that the real i think that
admit generation growed up and start q get involved in politics they won't be
able to north anymore they're gonna need to with that i think that's what led to
the flight have meeting week or solicit kasi and
went to the meeting
and what was it about
it would or not by the secular coalition for america it
uh... umbrella group for ten national
not gifted organization practicing life is one of them
and baby
arden watching the b
and coordinated with
administration officials to get that polity briefing
to representative from the and group from all over the country i think they
were
fifty people in the dark showing up representing the organization and met
with
five administration official to discover confirmed fit to have a little
conversation without
about and so we're hoping and just see what were your main concerns is that
uh... illustrator we disagree a guess who was there but the best of your help
am we went with three particular topic bob
preventing
religiously based
medical neglect for children
military prophet i think we want to often make the climate a little more
accepting of religious minorities
and trying to reform the state fifteen the ship
would be the knife
non-controversial topic of trying to and discrimination and protect the children
is why i think it's funny for article sheet filled by a lot of religious right
when they go in and out protect children
you know bill donohue deserted yangon from uh... it's runs a catholic league
he's come after me in the past year or so he came out your guest what what's
his beef with you guys i mean okay so some people in the country balloon
within some don't wire you the bag
i really think that as
non belief becomes more comfortable
the
privilege plate that religion have in politics
is going to go away and i think he's scared of that u
afraid of the fact that non-believers are actually being heard they're
becoming part of the proper
you know you pick u ashen uttered out for being hate filled invalid
i really think that difficulties worried that were formally actually having a boy
in politics
and of course is a little bit of rejection there to prep but jesse i want
to get to the an interesting issue though that brings up more damages
jessica left he is the communications director for the secular student
alliance
which is a lot of people or fended of if you say you don't believe in the with
because it is and religion is center
core of the
of people's identity for so many people there for everybody of course it may be
dying for most people for a lot of people it is so you're very existence
the fact that you say if i don't believe in your widget offends them
how do you think the prob
primetime critic but i'd be open up people we can expect people with even
wall docking at the at the market agreeing with them
in in this country if the democratization to work with each other
there's going to be other group
we don't need to keep fighting for our right to
need to get them to be part of that discussion
and we've been shut up with the long and held out of the process though
if a major stepped up to be able to participate
kind of a shame that army recruitment
in is offensive
so i don't know how we can get beyond that beside being respectful to each
other
trying true who protecting freedom of beacon conscience for everyone after for
our own group
and by the way uh... recent polls have shown that uh... about fourteen percent
country i'll don't believe in religious that's the lowest large minority
and and today they should be celebrating of wrangled steps down as the head of
the house uh... these awaz committee very very powerful committee
and peter dark
dot brainy not bs in congress step cynthia very powerful role he goes out a
party
absolutely departed without actually found by the fact of the coalition for
america the campout surveys trying to find the highest-ranking official
who won
none the epic
and they were to try to find one
person who in congress who's willing to openly state
he wasn't religion
they worked mother to in private that they weren't religious p park if you
look at that we can make it public
coming up a fab statement that their and quantity
non-believers in congress but the car dot take get out
so ect their sega's soon alliance headquarters today there's a little bit
of
it there's been a feeling of getting it never take the white house venting to
keep coming
