I’d been thinking really hard about whether or not to  jump into the blogging ‘fray’ concerning atheism, religious bigotry and the efforts of the religious fundamentalists in the United States to influence education and government with their superstitious beliefs.  I’ve read countless articles on the ‘burgeoning’ of atheistic and anti-woo (as the JREF community so aptly puts it) blogs and thought that I couldn’t make that much of a difference with my opinions.  Yet, upon reflection (and much reading), I’ve come to realize that while the individuals who have spoken up thus far have been eloquent and passionate in their views, they are lone voices, only showing the way and they are often drowned out by competing voices.  More of us talking about atheism and the anti-science problem on this planet is what it’s going to take to be noticed.  It’s the chorus that gets heard.  And so, I humbly add my song.
