ATHEISTS TO COUNTER ‘NATIONAL DAY
OF PRAYER’ WITH BLOOD
DONATIONS
Lifesaving
Action, Not Passive Prayer, Is the Message
What
do you do on May 3, 2007, the “National Day of Prayer,” if you are
an atheist, do not believe in prayer, and are opposed to the
observance of a prayer day being imposed on all American
citizens?
While
believers are praying on May 3, groups of atheists will go to Blood
Banks in scores of US locales to donate their blood and sign up for
organ donation programs. It is a nationwide action which we hope
will point out that there are alternatives to silently beseeching a
deity to perform miracles.
“We want to make a public statement about how nonreligious people
can observe the so-called National Day of Prayer, which we have
renamed Gift of Life Day.”
If
you want to start A Gift of Life Day in your localation,
contact Ken Bronstein at centerforatheism@aol.org.

The
Center for Atheism
(CFA) was established
by the New York City Atheists as a separate and independent
national organization to propose, develop, and be a catalyst
for new national activities supporting the objectives of
atheists, agnostics, humanists, freethinkers, skeptics,
secularists and separation-of-church-and-state advocates.
CFA will accept and review suggestions from
individuals and other secular organizations that will foster
our goals.
