CFI is not Shermer's organization. And it is not the responsibility of the "atheist community" (whatever that is) to investigate or prosecute all alleged crimes commited by any atheist.

Is there even an allegation that Shermer used his authority as an atheist to commit a crime (not sure how that would work, frankly)? If not, it's hard to see what this has to do with atheism.

Btw, link?
