Interesting. I remember watching a programme on TV about how there were more atheists than Jewish people in the US yet Jewish people had far more representation and allowances than atheists. It's actually kinda sad that they've had to form these groups as stated in the article to give themselves a voice.

Atheists don't really have anything they need allowances for that I can think of.  I mean there's no days of observence for atheism.

It's like complaining that people without diabities have less allowances then people with diabities.

As for representation... Jewish people tend to live more in the same districts, areas and states.

Atheists are fairly evenly spread.  Also, since atheism is the lack of a religious belief... I can't see that being a big motivator for elections like being part of a minority religious group that's been persecuted since it's existed.
