Give me one example of this.

Now you sound like a little child that didn't get picked for the kickball game, and in no way does an atheist not being invited to speak keep you from puclically grieving. Did you ever stop to think that everyone who died might have been a Christian, and the people who were picked to speak were done so at the behest of the family members?

We, as atheists, do have a long way to go, but you're making it sound like we live in Saudi Arabia. Plus, your insistance on using insensitive opportunism to further your cause is not helping the situation.
