Penn Jillette: Atheists, stand up and be counted - CNN.com
This made me laugh:
This has some relevance:
Shall be interesting to see how this gathering turns out. Will there really be 'tens-of-thousands"? Or just a hundred or two?
The comment about Gary Johnson rings loud too.
(CNN)This weekend on the Mall in Washington, a bunch of atheists — tens of thousands, including me --will get together just to be counted as not having a personal god.Why? Whether the pollsters bemoan it or celebrate it, the percentage of Americans who are losing their religion is rising. And in a presidential election year, candidates need to take note.
This made me laugh:
The only good news about Donald Trump, and this is from a rose-colored-glasses-crazy-optimist, is that Silly Donny shows us that even on the right wing, religion no longer really matters. Trump wouldn't know a verse from the Bible if it were tattooed backward on his backside so he could read it in the mirror.
This weekend on the Mall, some of the grooviest, smartest, most loving people in the country will get together and cheer about not having a personal god. Some of the ugliest, silliest, stupidest people will be there, too.

It's time for people to see what atheists really look like.Atheists look like Americans. We are Americans, and we've always been your neighbors and friends.
