Lots of good ideas here. Thanks ya'll. It would be so cool to be able to sit down right now and watch some Atheist TV.
As for now, I'll keep watching the Science Channel and what not to keep myself grounded in reality.

I've just started volunteering at CammTv, the Baltimore public access channel. Just flipping through some of the submitted tapes today, I'd say at least half were religious programs. So if anyone in the Baltimore area has a self-produced freethought show, please send it over (Camm doesnt have a production studio yet). They can be contacted here. In fact, if anyone has anything interesting, please send it over. The programming looks pretty dry so far, although maybe I'm being hasty.

Agreed, on all points. Yes, we've got some members here who've been kicked off of the Christian Forums (CF) for merely stating their positions.

I don't advocate silence on our parts, but we're not going to win any converts from the hardcore types. As I've stated before, probably the best we can hope to do is plant some doubts in those who are open enough to listen. For those who have already begun to doubt, we'll give them even more to think about. The ones we can really affect are what I like to call the "fence-sitters." These folks have some serious doubts and can be swayed either way with a strong enough argument (sometimes even a small one - the straw to break the camel's back, as it were). We can do more than be examples of good, moral, albeit without Faith, citizens. But the effectiveness of other actions will be limited by the feelings of those who we would like to "free." Let me add that creating awareness is a big step, too. I think this was a small victory won by the GAMOW back in November. Unfortunately, it wasn't big enough to attract full national attention. But perhaps it'll happen again this year, or in the future, and be bigger still. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
