Individual Christians don't get tax breaks, only churches do. Even then, it's only under certain conducts- they cannot, for example, get tax breaks when selling secular services or products. I'm not really sure how we could go about getting tax breaks for anything under the "banner" of atheism.

We could at least nominate the local pub as a meeting place; get cheap beer and free parking while we plot.

@Adurumus Did you notice what was written on the sword in the “Boy Scout� poster you posted?
“Striking down the sinner with the sword of Bigotry and Discrimination� I wonder if they would admit that today?

Seeing as though a few organizations have threatened to break ties with them over their hate towards gays and discrimination/non-approval of atheists, and they still haven't folded, probably. They stand behind their ideals to the end. I disagree with them, buy it's... somewhat respectable.lionel1020 wrote:PS

Was the pun in the thread title intentional?
Dogmatism and skepticism are both, in a sense, absolute philosophies; one is certain of knowing, the other of not knowing. What philosophy should dissipate is certainty, whether of knowledge or ignorance.
