Ron Barrier of American Atheists told the Daily Illini that nationally televised prayer services, presidential references to God, and calls to prayer leave atheists feeling forgotten as US citizens. "Nonbelievers were touched by the tragedy just as much as believers were," Barrier said. "All we're doing is asking for a little sensitivity. Just because one does not have religious beliefs does not make one less of a citizen."

First let me preface this by saying that I think that athesits can be every bit as moral and more so than that of Christians. Having said that, the above quote is just plain stupid.

Heck, I'm an atheist myself, and even *I* think it's stupid.
