Hello Mary Condon.
I hope you'll be happy being a member of HAF, I'm also a member of the subgroup Happy Atheist Troika (HAT).

Welcome to HAF.  I didn't know there was an atheist political party.  You may also be interested in Secular Coalition for America...and perhaps bring them to the attention of NAP too as I don't see NAP on their member or endorsing organizations list.  Also, find out if your campus has a Secular Student Alliance and if they don't have one you could start one.

Hello and welcome to HAF, Mary. Like Whitney, I was unaware of the N. A. P. .  I've looked through a bit of their website, and so far haven't found anything that I strongly disagree with, which is extremely rare in my experience of political parties.  I'm confident that I will eventually find something to object to, however.   Their logo looks like a modified version of the "Invisible Pink Unicorn" logo.

My name is Mary Condon. I am a full-time college student and a full time member of the National Atheist Party. I am a strong supporter of a secular government. I do not think that religion should play any role in the making of laws or any aspect of government or government funded institutions. I feel that the National Atheist Party is the best way for people to organize and campaign for a secular government. It gives atheists, agnostics and others a political voice. In our current political climate it is especially essential that we speak up. New laws are being passed every day with their only justification being based on religious reasoning. I think it is high time we stand up and ask our current political candidates "What are you doing for atheist voters?"

We actually just recently gained endorsement from the Secular Coalition, may not have been added to their site just yet.  Always looking for more endorsements and organizations to work with.

Was that written in some pamphlet or something?

It has political appeal written all over it.

Hi Mary

I merged your two intro threads.

I'm very interested to here about your group and it's activities.

Thanks for making the effort to sign up and join in.

Welcome to HAF.

Regards

I hope this is for a legitimate sign up and not just because there's a presidential election process starting up right now. My cynical self thinks the latter. If I'm wrong, I'll apologize. Seems a bit like someone just trying to promote their group on as many atheist forums as possible.

(I woke up grumpy this morning)

Welcome to the forum.

My appologies for the Freudian slip that occured in my head when I saw your username...

Hi and welcome!

[m.condon]

Glad to be here and glad you find the National Atheist Party interesting. I definitly suggest you check it out. Not trying to advertise the party too much. I just found it a good match for myself, and I hope to let others know about it.  I have been met with a lot of controversy on atheist forums when I mention the party. I am glad that you were more receptive than other forums. Its nice to be in a place where I can discuss with other atheists. ALl my friends are atheists but very adamant in their veiws and I always like to get other  opinions.
