The fundies are at it again, flagging atheism as porn

I was doing some research and was looking for the University of Minnesota study on atheism from a few years ago as I couldn't find the copy I'd saved.  So I ran across an about.com article about it which I thought was pretty slick.  But then I saw that the StumbleUpon designation for the article was Pornography!  This is nothing new, I had it happen to my That Atheist Bitch blog and several of my atheism bits (as well as an article on polyamory and an article on GLBT suicide rates) a while back but I got those corrected with a little help from my friends.  There were a bunch of atheist and GLBT articles by a lot of people that got categorized as porn then and this may just be a leftover.

So, if you have a StumbleUpon account, I urge you to go and report the about.com article as NOT pornography here.  You can right the report link on the right hand side of the page.

I think they fixed it already.  Says it is in the agnostic/atheist category.

Excellent!  On the last round, it took a lot longer for the corrections.  Thanks to everyone who reported it!
