#atheism #atheistday
Happy Atheist Day, to those who cannot safely say they are, and to those fighting to keep their country safe to be an atheist in!
Hear my prayer, O non-existent God,
accept these cries into thy nothingness,
thou, who never leaves poor men unblessed
by your false comfort…
—Don Paterson, “Atheist Prayer”
from THE ARCTIC (Faber, 2023)
Today, March 23, is Atheist Day
Celebrating #AtheistDay.
In reason and compassion* we trust.
* #empathy is definitely OK, too.
Happy Atheist Day to those who celebrate, and especially, to those who can't.
Let's take a moment to remember why many countries value the separation between church and state, as it's becoming more and more relevant now.
Hear my prayer, O non-existent God,
accept these cries into thy nothingness,
thou, who never leaves poor men unblessed
by your false comfort…
