In the aftermath of the tornado that hit Moore, Oklahoma last Monday, the media went into a frenzy. CNN's Wolf Blitzer was out interviewing victims of the tornado when he came across Rebecca Vitsmun. Wolf asked her if she had thanked the lord for saving her. Rebecca's response was that she was actually an Atheist. This was very brave of her since she lives in one of the most religious states in the U.S. I commend her for speaking out on national television.
Since the interview, stand up comic Doug Stanhope launched a campaign titled "Atheists Unite" to raise money for Rebecca and her family to rebuild.
Oklahoma's freethought convention, which is scheduled for June 22, is selling t-shirts on their website to benefit Vitsmun. The t-shirts read "I'm actually an Atheist".
It's wonderful to see Atheists support one of their own in a time of need.
