“An atheist believes that a hospital
should be built instead of a church.
An atheist believes that deed must
be done instead of prayer said.
An atheist strives for involvement in life
and not escape into death.
He wants disease conquered,
poverty vanished, war eliminated.” — Madalyn Murray O’Hair
"The most dangerous woman in America."
Excuuuuse me, but "poverty VANISHED" should read "poverty BANISHED". I looked it up because it just didn't sound right. Damn substack doesn't allow attachments so I can't attach a screenshot of the small white granite obelisk outside Florida's Bradford County Courthouse on which are etched these words of American Atheists founder Madalyn O'Hair. It's not impossible a copy doesn't exist somewhere that reads "vanished" instead of "banished", however.
