There's an afternoon radio host who's sidekick is openly an atheist. A while back, they wanted to prove they had street cred so they started The Black List where their black listeners called in and had the show add them to the list. Basically to say "Look, this isn't just for white people!" Anyhow, it's a pretty funny bit. So I've tried to call in a few times to see if I could get them to start an atheist list to let other people in NE Ohio know that they aren't alone, and to encourage them to speak up...but I know my dad listens so I chicken out, which is totally hypocritical of me. I think that would be nice for my area, but I don't want to upset my mom. :/
OK one of my dumb questions what does "police brutality" have to do with atheism or religion? To me that is just people being people. Also the media trying to make a dime.
