    Default Atheism Helping with Social Justice

    http://www.alternet.org/story/151501...Ah1FW&rd=1&t=6

    "...Just as feminists take on the patriarchy, peace activists fight the ideology of war, civil rights activists and abolitionists dismantle the traditions of racism, and humanists erode authoritarian hierarchies, atheists are standing up and saying that the human race needs to evolve beyond religion. And it’s this social justice model that’s invigorating a new generation of atheists to move beyond just quietly disbelieving into openly challenging religious irrationality...."

    Social Justice is also found in reformed or reforming religions. Tikkun Olam is the Jewish version and in South America and in Liberation Theology [[Catholic) and other progressive protestant denomenations we are seeing Social Justice in Action.. Jim Wallis and the sourjourners are another such denomination that preached Social Justice.. ALL ARE Welcome to help bring this reform movement to the for front.. not just an athieist perspective.. just a human one.

    Social Justice is also found in reformed or reforming religions.
    I'd hope so since religion bribes people with an incredible and unlikely reward for acting decently.
