These arguments must be put before the public so that everyone will have access to the compelling reasons for coming to an Atheistic worldview, before deciding whether to believe or not believe.<br><br>Rejecting belief in God and in the supernatural, generally, does not necessarily entail any political point of view, beyond those issues touching upon religion and church/state separation. A person can be very right wing on economic and other issues and still be a nonbeliever. My ultimate goal is to help Atheism become so widespread and universal that when people state that they do not believe in God, we will not be able to tell, from that statement alone, what a person's position may be on a wide array of political issues. I am hoping that people from all over the political spectrum and from many diverse points of view will be able to come together and agree on the naturalistic reality that prevails in our world.<br><br>It is long overdue for Atheistic arguments to be given a seat at the table of the marketplace of ideas in today's world.
