Hypocrisy of "Atheist Civil Rights" activists
Many atheist lawyers and political activists, including Rob Sherman, often challenge laws they claim to be unconstitutional, yet in reality are silly. One case that Sherman brought up was when he challenged a moment of silence in which he received support from Hooters women in Springfield, Illinois. This type of meaningless lawsuits are common especially in the American Atheists organization. The reason why it is meaningless for these atheists to participate in this activity is because they think everything is meaningless and there is no right and wrong, thus, there's is nothing wrong with having a moment of silence or a cross as a sign of memorial.
