Small-town Prejudice Against Infidels Alive and Well

Weekly Editor Compares FFRF to KKK, Nazi Party and Al Qaeda!

July 19, 2007

Below is a scanned opinion piece from a recent issue of the weekly Galesville Republican, Wis., (not available online), revealing that extreme prejudice against nonbelievers and atheists, long-observed by researchers, continues unabated in small-town America.

NOTE: Rose Eddy is no longer the editor of the Galesville Republican. This action alert is no longer active.

Managing editor Rose Eddy reminisces about being contacted in the past by the KKK, seeking to advertise. (FFRF and some of its plaintiffs in the past have likewise had encounters with the KKK, though not as friendly as Rose's.) Eddy concludes that she would not take "information" or advertising from a number of other groups, lumping the Freedom From Religion Foundation with the Nazi Party and even Al-Qaeda!

Ms. Eddy apparently does not realize that the Nazi party was Christian to the core, as is the KKK, and that Al-Qaeda also terrorizes in the name of a god--if not her particular brand of deity.

The Freedom From Religion Foundation, based in Madison, Wis., is a national association of freethinkers (atheists, agnostics) that has been working since 1978 to keep church and state separate.
