Humanist, Jan-Feb, 2003 by Karen Ann Gajewski

* Waving U.S. flags, protesting the increasing infringement of religion in government affairs, and calling themselves one of the last group in the United States facing unrestrained bigotry, about 2,000 atheists, humanists, and other nonbelievers participated November 2 in the first "Godless Americans March on Washington." The FBI reported in 2001 that of the 1,828 religiously motivated hate crimes committed that year, five were motivated by "anti-atheism/agnosticism/etc."
