Rick Perry sued for praying in public -- Atheists are smarter than everybody else. Just ask them. ABC News reports: "Texas Governor Rick Perry is facing a federal lawsuit as a state/church watchdog group consisting of atheists and agnostics attempts to block his involvement in the Day of Prayer and Fasting organized for Aug 6. The Freedom From Religion Foundation, a watchdog group consisting of 16,600 members, filed a federal lawsuit in the Southern District Court of Texas to keep the religious event from occurring, arguing it violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. The legal complaint says the plaintiffs are 'nonbelievers who support the free exercise of religion, but strongly oppose the governmental establishment and endorsement of religion, including prayer and fasting, which are not only an ineffectual use of time and government resources, but which can be harmful or counterproductive as a substitute for reasoned action.'" If only Perry would convert to Islam. Then it would be racist to tell him not to pray whenever, wherever, and however he chose.As is the case with most atheist lawsuits, this one will fail and atheists will once again look like petty little ineffectual people.
There are a few, however, with a sense of humor:
An Austrian atheist has won the right to be shown on his driving-licence photo wearing a pasta strainer as "religious headgear".
