17. We have to "hit" religions harder from now onUpdated at 8:34 AM
It's not enough to wait until the next third-grader is buggered in the Sacristy -- we have to be pro-active NOW in bringing down the New Pharisees.

As much as I admire Dawkins and Harris and the late Marilyn Murray O'Hair, we need some serious popular-level agitation aimed at the Separation of Church and Deity. There is a crying need to discredit institutional religion. Once we've de-churched society, can work on the atheism at our leisure.
