that I hope the American Humanist Association hasn't wasted a cent on, but I'm afraid that they have.
They have a noun to describe themselves already - 'humanist', believe it or not.
usregimechange, you need to understand that when someone says they wouldn't vote for an atheist, it's not prejudice. By describing themselves an an atheist, they have told people some of their beliefs. That is a valid basis for making a judgement about them. Personally, I wouldn't vote for a Jehovah's Witness; or a fascist. Anyone who calls themselves those things has told me enough to know that I can't trust them, even if they might agree with me on some points like, say, the environment.
