Since all those damn McCartheists in the Senate are working on a new amendment to recognize the existence of God, can we draft an amendment that recognizes the non-existence of God?

I know it would stand no chance of passing, but I think it would make a point.

It would be more profitable to fight against that new amendment. Pushing for an amendment that declares that no god exists would only be inflamatory to no good purpose.

If any amendment should be fought for, it should be one which declares that nontheists be completely recognized as full citizens, as potentially patriotic as any other citizen.

We already have such an amendment. It's called the First Amendment.
