Godless in Dixie/Openly Secular

about being an atheist in the Southern US....

Finally got around to watching a CBS Sunday Morning program from about a month ago and Mo Rocca had a segment on Openly Secular which featured the "Godless in Dixie" blogger Neil Carter. Not a negative segment at all, which was a little surprising.

Neil has a space on Patheos and Facebook. He's a good writer, and he's about to go "on tour" thru Chicago, Nashville, Atlanta, and California. Do a little networking?

and happy to report that things are looking up. I belong to a local atheist/secular/rationalist/ Meetup Group that is growing ballistically. I will definitely see Neil. Thanks for posting.

Surprisingly non-inflammatory.

Although I imagine there were more than a few Christians growling at the TV. There are a few of them commenting on CBS's website. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/atheists-in-godlessness-we-trust/#postComments
