I don't want my clicks enriching Glen Beck in any way.

Sounds like his advice is to get back into the closet if you want to get involved in politics. From a practical point of view he could be right, but it sure does not help to make being a nonbeliever more socially acceptable.

I also fail to see how his comments of never being discriminated against have any weight as until just recently he was in the closet. Maybe a better way of saying that would be:

"I have was never discriminated against because of my atheism because I have always allowed people to think I was some sort of believer."
