The atheist/ secular March on Washington, set for March 24, 2012? It’s kind of a big freaking deal: they’re saying it’s going to be the largest gathering of the secular movement in world history. There’s going to be music, comedy, general fun and hanging out… and, of course, speakers.

While communism is officially atheist, a fact Christians gleefully point to as an example of what happens when atheism holds sway, communist philosophy is based on economics, not metaphysics. The political and economic philosophies of communism do not follow from the hypothesis of nonbelief. Indeed, with its dogmatic policies and authoritarianism, communism more closely resembles a godless religion than secular atheism. The only political views of atheists that are closely linked to their beliefs are that church and state should be separate and that decisions should be based on reason rather than revelation.
