What is the point of Atheist Activism?

RE: What is the point of Atheist Activism?
Yes, but just because it is certain religious scripture behind the denial of marriage for gays, doesn't automatically make it an atheist activism issue. You are assuming that to be against a certain religious scripture, you must be an atheist, or at least have atheist virtues. Nothing could be further from the truth.

There are many Christians who don't think the "anti-gay" parts of the Bible are true, or that they should be used to enforce laws. For something to be "atheist activism" I think it would have to involve atheists for an atheist cause. Gay Marriage isn't atheist activism (there are plenty of non-atheist gays); it's a gay rights issue...an equality issue.

Even if there are some atheists involved, there are far better instances of atheist activism.
