Calling all Compassionate Christians, Jews and Muslims.

The non religious community needs your help to motivate the administrators at military and civilian hospitals and hospices to provide the same level of support for non religious patients as they provide to religious patients. We're not asking for special care, we want equal care.

We have been working diligently to update our online presence and expand our offerings as a community for those without religious preference. All of the work we have put into this is time well spent and could not have happened without a dedicated membership and individuals investing time, effort and energy. To help us grow, we have also had a steady flow of donations through our meetings from members, visitors and anonymous supporters that share our goal with helping others and to provide a community for atheists, humanists and agnostics.

For those that are unaware, The House of Representatives has recently passed H.R. 471, The Scholarships for Opportunity and Results Act on March 30th 2011 with a vote of 225 to 195. This legislation, if passed by the Senate and Signed by President Obama, would reinstate the DC Opportunity Scholarship Program and was known in legislation as the 2003 D.C. School Choice Incentive Act, with an increased budget. A link to the full bill in PDF form can be found here

This is in response to David Brown’s Nov. 19 allegation that our Supreme Court has recognized secular humanism as a religion. While I am grateful for Mr. Brown’s civility, some of his points are incorrect.

On Sunday, Joe had his letter to the TCPalm published regarding the rights of humanists and the problems we face due to having a minority position among the religious community. The published article can be viewed at http://www.tcpalm.com/news/2010/nov/14/letter-dont-usurp-humanists-right... along with the discussion that ensued on the website. Below is the full article.
