Citing Atheists Offensive in Obama Inaugural Address?
Nonbelievers (atheists) should be recognized as existing, and it shouldn't be offensive to believers. That's like saying that mentioning black people is offensive to racists -- how ridiculous. It will be along time before atheists are properly respected in the political realm, but the day will come eventually. The only reason atheists aren't respected is because we don't believe in magic.
