I think an atheist political party is a good idea. The Republicain party is basically a group of Christian fanatics only pushing their religious views into politics. The Democratic party is good about keeping their personal views out of politics, but a party based on purely the views of regular people is needed in congress today to stop the bills that infringe on peoples rights. Rights such as the right for a woman to have an abortion. We need more free thinkers in congress, not less.
