Requirements to be a decent person

More on the topic of atheists and their treatment by the churchly:

Digby has an interesting post up this morning on discrimination against athiests, and it fills in some of the back-story. Money quote:

Despite the ridiculous hype to the contrary, our society dictates that religion is required to be a decent person. If you can't get elected to office as an atheist, why would a court grant you the right to raise children?

Digby's been on something of a roll this week, in fact: Check his post about the liberal clergy in America angling to recapture the initiative from the right-wing fundies.

(Postscript: Is the new format cool or whut? Loads much faster too.)
