Ellen Steps Down
Ellen Johnson, president of American Atheists, Inc., has stepped down from her position. I have spoken against her politics and the way she ran American Atheists’ decision making processes numerous times.
Earlier this year, Ellen issued a statement on her YouTube account saying that no Atheist should vote in the 2008 Presidential election, arguably the most important election of recent history, because none of the candidates refused to pander to Atheists. Never mind that Obama has firmly supported Jefferson’s Wall of Separation over and over again and never mind that if any of the candidates openly endorsed Atheism they would lose the support of the biggest voting block in the country.
Quite frankly, I don’t think Ellen has ever gotten the hang of thinking before speaking.
Maybe now, with Ellen gone, American Atheists, Inc. can stop being belligerent about not forming alliances with other Atheist organisations.

You are most welcome to share your thoughts and criticisms with me at any time. As Acting President of American Atheists, Inc., I need all the advice and information I can get if I am to navigate successfully between the Scylla and Charybdis that loom up not only before my organization but threaten all separationist and reality-based organizations in these perilous times.
For reason,
Frank R. Zindler, Acting President
American Atheists, Inc.
