I agree with this guy on a lot of stuff, especially this one.
How do I make this show in the forum, though?  It's a youtube link.

you do it like this:

I'm not sure if phpBB (the web content software for this forum) supports embedded HTML.  Blog software usually allows embedded YouTube videos, but I haven't typically seen it on forums.  You can put in web links with the URL BBCode, so you could put a link to the YouTube video in your message ... like this.

The BBCode:

It seems that it won't mount.

An atheist political movement would meant that atheists would be targeted. I don't think we need that. If someone is atheist and feels the want or need to be in political office, then more power to them. If I agree with their politics I'll vote for them. If not, I won't. Th only time this type of thing matters is when an elected official is a fundamentalist. I won't vote for a fundamentalist.
I want bad people to look forward to and celebrate the day I die, because if they don't, I'm not living up to my potential.

I didn't watch the entire video but, I can see how Atheists in politics could help certain issues.  The first one that comes to mind is true separation of church and state. It's safe to assume we already have "closet atheists" in the Congress, Senate etc. Religious beliefs shouldn't be required to be get elected. (with the exception of one Atheist...that I'm aware of)

I agree with with Will if an Atheist will get my vote only if I agree with their views.
