I would like people to make note of the religious organizations that helped to get this bill defeated.
Victories such as this are not possible without theist allies. |

That's a very good point, Alonzo. Theists and non-theists alike tend to forget that religious tolerance and secular government was promoted by religious majorities, not the non-religious minority.

Victories such as this are also not possible without activist groups such as AU, ACLU and the PFAW.

Wow. All three of my state's elected Republicans voted against it.

From the standpoint of sowing discord among the believers, however, this is a defeat.

Go United Methodist Church.
I notice that the Southern Baptists weren't on AU's list. Neither was LDS. |

Wow, two of the three local Refucklicans voted Nay. Good jobs, Pryce and Hobson. Patrick Tiberi, what were you thinking? I didn't realize you were in bed with Falwell, Watts, Jones, and the Shrubya on this....
 I suppose I'd better look up who my new Rep will be when I move to Rochester. Andy |
