CooperationA Second Invitation to the White HouseSubmitted by Luis on Wed, 2010-06-16 00:53.
by August E. Brunsman 
It’s not every year that I get invited to two White House meetings because of my atheism, but 2010 is already that kind of a year. Last February, the Secular Coalition for America (and its ten member organizations, one of which is the Secular Student Alliance) got a historic invitation to the White House for a policy briefing. Well, on June 7th I was invited back to participate in a 125-person meeting organized through the White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships (WHOFBNP). The title of the meeting was “Advancing Interfaith and Community Service on College and University Campuses.” AAI Teaching Opportunity in Kasese, UgandaSubmitted by Luis on Tue, 2010-06-08 16:22.

Atheists and Christians Unify to Destroy New OrleansSubmitted by Luis on Mon, 2010-04-12 21:30.
by Ashley Paramore OK, so maybe I'm exaggerating a bit. We didn't actually destroy a city … just a couple of houses. For the second year in a row, Students for Freethought and a Christian campus group, The Thomas Society, went to go rebuild homes in New Orleans. The size of the groups combined was 23 people—the perfect size to make it easy for all group members to mingle with each other at some point of the trip.

Freethinking Healer and Rabble-Rouser Helen Kagin dies at 76Submitted by august on Thu, 2010-02-11 05:15.
I had the pleasure and honor of knowing Helen for just shy of eleven years. The joy, intensity, and brilliance with which she lived her life are totally impossible to capture in words. At Camp Quest Ohio, most of the kids and younger counselors played this vigorous, no-holds-barred version of keep away in the pool with a ball. There was no leader, no ref, no written rules, no score keeping. It just came together organically, summer after summer. With a small handful of exceptions, only the youngest staffers played with any regularity. Well into her seventies, Helen could be counted on to play every time her and the ball were in the pool at the same time.
