If you had any doubts that Richard Dawkins is a wild-eyed radical in a cheap tuxedo, check out a recent tweet:
Please sign the petition to end the tax exempt status of religious organizations. http://t.co/oqEcoQcZC6
— Richard Dawkins (@RichardDawkins) September 18, 2013
Let’s see. A guy who has an tax exempt organization named after himself demands that the government tax religious organizations. He really is the modern day version of Madalyn Murray O’Hair.
BTW, the guy who supposedly has over 800,000 followers on Twitter can only mobilize a couple of thousand signatures. Hmmmm.
I note that there was a petition a couple of years back to “End the Military’s Discrimination against Non-Religious Service Members” which managed to attract only about 24% of the required number of signatures. The White House responded anyhow.
Let’s see how this one fares, comparatively.
