Post for the week

I found this article mentioning how atheists are seeking a sense of community. (http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Society/2009/0628/p22s01-ussc.html). I found this interesting because I distinctly remember someone putting up a flyer for the Baylor Atheist society in Morrison Hall. He seemed terrified that anyone would see him. There's another recent article that says religious people are healthier because they associate in groups. As this article says, these atheists are looking to benefit the community through service projects such as creek cleanups. I think it's interesting that people are using their lack of a religion to preform community service. You can join almost organization and do community service. It's interesting to me that some groups would support meeting because meeting to talk about things could seem like going to church. I just think that people can do the same thing these atheists groups can do what they're doing through another group. It saves the members less controversy when they are discovered.
