UN Briefing - Religious Discrimination In Ireland [View all]

Atheist Ireland just delivered a speech to the UN in Geneva. The topic is officialy sanctioned discrimination against non-Xians in the Irish Republic.

Interesting stuff. Apparently atheists have few to no rights under the current Irish constitution.

But this sort of thing could never happen in the USA...cough...
