Secular Coalition for America Blog
I thought, you know, being a semi-regular contributor to 3 blogs just wasn't enough. Sean Faircloth, who I have a total atheist political crush on, got in touch with me a few months ago to ask me if I wanted to help with his new project, creating a blog on the SCA site. The help …
