A 1,000 Better Causes Than Fighting Religion            

Dear friend, I need your help! I have embarked upon a big project with the intent of sending a strong statement to misguided religion haters. I do believe that there are at least a thousand better causes to get involved with that are constructive and more valuable than religious hostility. If you have a good cause that belongs here send it to me, if I agree, I will list it here as a resource and a cause that is worthy of support. With my limited free time, this will take some time to fill...that is unless those that agree with me send me good causes! Its OK to be skeptical about religion, but find something constructive to give your talents to rather than destroying the common good that people of faith construct. That is what the humanist tradition is all about!
