More publicity, too. We don't have as many problems as you would in the States, but even in the Durham region (where I am, about 30 minutes east of Toronto) we still have Secular Ontario having to threaten lawsuits to try to get an opening prayer out of our regional council meetings.

Also to note praise towards the push for competence and for the removal of ignorance. Personally I can't stand stupidity, bigotry or outright Bible/Kuran/etc thumpers, but I live in Toronto, Canada and it isnt much of a problem here. You have my utmost respect for your cause and for being a spokesperson for atheists alike. kudos, keep the up the good work.

I mean, if you're going to do a piece about blogging, you could do more in depth research about them. "...are mundane ramblings with narrow, boring subjects and tiny audiences." I'm not sure talking about Atheism is a "...narrow, boring subject...." ...zefrank.com? crooksandliars.com? "tiny audiences" indeed.
