&lt;p&gt;FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - A group of atheists has filed a lawsuit in&lt;br&gt;
Kentucky seeking to remove God from the state’s homeland security&lt;br&gt;
detail.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;American Atheists Inc. filed the lawsuit in Frankfort on Tuesday, claiming Kentucky violated the Constitution by enacting a law in 2006 that stresses God’s role in protecting the state.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Of particular concern to American Atheists is a clause that requires the Office of Homeland Security to post a plaque that says the safety of the state “cannot be achieved apart from reliance upon Almighty God.”&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>On being an Atheist - reading “The God Delusion”</title><link>https://archive.nickperkins.au/nicholasperkins/on-being-an-atheist-reading-the-god-delusion/</link><pubDate>Sat, 06 Dec 2008 00:00:00 +1000</pubDate><guid>https://archive.nickperkins.au/nicholasperkins/on-being-an-atheist-reading-the-god-delusion/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;I’ve been reading &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Dawkins" title="Richard Dawkins - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia"&gt;Richard Dawkins’&lt;/a&gt; book &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/God-Delusion-Richard-Dawkins/dp/0618918248/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=books&amp;amp;qid=1228485296&amp;amp;sr=8-1" title="Amazon.com: The God Delusion: Richard Dawkins"&gt;The God Delusion&lt;/a&gt;. And no, I don’t make no money from that link. The book has really opened my eyes to the world. I come from a Christian background but have been a “non-believer” for a while now.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The God Delusion is taking me in another direction. It shows you the arguements that have been used throughout the ages to defend religion. It gives you thinks to think about while giving referenced facts balanced against the opinion of an emminent Atheist.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
