::By the way, why did the Founding Fathers of America install a paid chaplain shortly after the United States was founded? "When the Senate first convened in New York City on April 6, 1789, one of its first orders of business was to appoint a committee to recommend a candidate for chaplain. On April 25, the Senate elected the Right Reverend Samuel Provoost, Episcopal Bishop of New York, as its first chaplain".[http://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/history/common/briefing/Senate_Chaplain.htm] [[User:RobTurkel|RobTurkel]] 16:26, 15 January 2013 (EST)

== Information / Opinion Balance ==
I'm concerned that this article is based more on biased opinions and serves primarily as a propaganda tool, rather than a source for learning and enlightenment. It begins with a very short definition of the term, then continues to devote 95% of the content to the negative aspects of Atheism, not to mention its utter failure to mention a single one of the positive aspects. I'm worried that visitors will be put off by the editorial style of writing (as cleverly disguised as it is) because it may not let them evaluate Atheism in an honest manner. A lot of hard work has gone into producing and editing this content and I'd hate to see it discarded as a piece of fiction, written exclusively for those who are fearful of what they don't understand, rather than those who come here to actually learn something. The world is full of religious and non-religious people, and the last thing we want to do is act like they can't coexist by insinuating that they cant and shouldn't. You are an encyclopedia. I have faith that you're better than this.
