Let me explain a few things:
The National Atheist Party, while it may have a scary name does not try to represent all atheists. The NAACP does not represent all "colored people" and they are not the only ones allowed to join. The Democrats are not the only one that support democracy, and the republicans dont support a Republic as far as I can tell. A rose by any other name would smell just as sweet. Language is a funny thing, having more to do with connotation than denotation but connotation can be changed, over time, by society. Atheism is not anti-theism, it is without theism. Politics without theism is supposed to be how it works but in the US it is not always so. So it should not be regarded as a worldwide movement. As far as I have seen atheism is more accepted in other countries. The National Atheist PArty tries to represent the members by developing stances on platform issues as voted on by our members. Some may say that atheism has nothing to do with politics but religion should have even less to do with it. As many can see religion has been finding ways to insinuate itself into our government, this is an action to protect us against that. As a single issue party cannot survive we also rallying behind issues that are important to our members, and many others.
Also I still do not understand how I got banned for sock puppetry. I participated in other discussions, I was not rude, I didnt post only NAP stuff and always backed up my posts with politely cited sources. I don't care if the people from there post on here. I am not afraid to tell you that I feel I was treated rudely and unfairly. I don't have to agree with you on the NAP but I would like to keep posting on current events that catch my attention and to continue to take what I can from others' posts
