11 08 09 - 00:48 This isn't a new ABC news story but it is still interesting. It talks about an Atheist convention and follows with an interview with Christopher Hitchens.

from youtube:

A large convention of atheists gathered today in Virginia, where men, women and children eagerly proclaimed their belief God does not exist.

While their views still may be the minority in the country, atheists have become more vocal and visible in recent years.

T-shirts, bumper stickers and even rap songs proclaim atheists' beliefs. Atheist summer camps now exist for children.

"Over the last 20 years," said Alan Wolfe of Boston College, "the number of people willing to tell people in surveys that they don't believe in God have pretty much doubled."

“We’re not god people, but we are good people.” I like that.
