AMERICAN ATHEIST
A Journal of Atheist News and Thought
Aggressive
Atheism
J
"We are investigators, and our policy is to ascertain facts and present them to our readers in clear and distinct
language. If we find a mind bound round with creeds and bibles, we will select a sharp knife to cut the bonds; if
we find men prostrating themselves, without inquiry, before idols, our policy is iconoclastic-we
will destroy
those idols. If we find a rock in our path, we will break it; but we will not quarrel with our brother who deems his
proper work to be that of polishing the fragments. We believe all the religions of the world are founded on error,
in the ignorance of natural causes and material conditions, and we deem it our duty to endeavor to expose their
falsity. Our policy is therefore aggressive. We are, at present, of opinion that there is much to do in-the mere
clod-crushing sphere, in uprooting upas trees [moraceous trees with poisonous milky sap], hewing down
creed-erected barriers between man and man and generally in negating the influence of the priest. Our policy is
of humble character; we are content to be axe bearers and pioneers, cutting down this obstacle and clearing
away that. We respect the sower who delights in the positive work of scattering seed on the ground, but we fear
that the weeds destroy much of the fruit of his labors ....
"There is no middle ground between theism and Atheism. The genuineness and authenticity of the scriptures
are questions relevant to secularism. It is as necessary for the secularist to destroy bible influences as for the
farmer to endeavor to eradicate the chickweed from his clover field. We appeal to those who think our work
fairly done to aid us in our labors; to those who will not work with us we simply say, do not hinder us.
"Our only wish and purpose is to make men happy, and this is because in so doing we increase our own
happiness. The secret of true happiness and wisdom lies in the consciousness that you are working to the fullest
of your ability to make your fellows happy and wise. Man can never be happy until he is free; free in body and in
mind; free in thought and in utterance; free from crowns and creeds, from priest, from king; free from the
cramping customs created by the influences surrounding him, and which have taught him to bow to a lord and
frown upon a beggar. Liberty, Equality, Fraternity! That true liberty, which infringes not the freedom of my
brother; that equality which recognizes no nobleman but the men of noble thoughts and noble deeds; that
fraternity which links the weak arm-in-arm with the strong, and, teaching humankind that union is strength,
compels them to fraternize, and links them together in that true brotherhood for which we strive."

Skoal- 1982
How fast the darts of daylight fly
When hair turns silver gold
Yet slow they move in the waiting eyes
Of the restless nine year old
But a year is a year to everyone
And its fleeting, passing way
Must be treasured now by all of us
So salute each new year's day
-Ger~id
Tholen
Whether or not January should be legitimately called the "beginning" of the "new year"
is academic. We all know that the orbital
motion of the Earth around its sun is actually
without "beginning" or \'end." Also, it would
seem more fitting that either of the solstices or
the equinoxes might more appropriately be
called the starting point of a "new" cycle.
Regardless of outlooks, as viewed from
either the northern or southern hemisphere, it
has historically been a custom for most of
humankind to celebrate the completion of
another cycle of seasons; a time to prepare for
what might lie ahead and a time to reflect on
what has passed.
Perversions of the various calendared systems are quite insignificant in reality. What is
important is that all who view such renewals of
the time frames have, in fact, survived the "trip"
and 'stand ready, for better or worse, to begin
again. In that context - may we wish you a
happy "new" year.

Gentlepeople:
I'm taking the opportunity of sending my sustainer for November in
order to voice a picky gripe I have
with the editorial in the (I believe)
October issue of the magazine.
My objection is not to content,
although I know at least two people
have resigned from the organization
because of it. MY objection is in the
non-capitalization of words like Jew,
Jewish, Christian, Semite, etc.
These, and other words relating to
religion(s), are proper nouns and as
such should be capitalized. The noncapitalization of such words displays, I feel, a pettiness which Atheism doesn't need if it is to be taken
seriously by the non-Atheist world. I
approve of the capitalization of Atheist and Atheism, since we should be
proper nouns also. But I don't feel
that the cause is advanced by playing
fast and loose with the rules of the
English language. English gets distorted and tortured enough by the
communications media, politicians,
the military, and other twerps who
can't find, their way around a dictionary without a guide; I believe we
don't need to contribute to the decay
of the language in order to be heard.
And we don't need to descend to
THEiR brainless level in order to
make our point
I hope you will give my thoughts
serious consideration. Thanks ..

Dear Christine Oleynichak,

The Match
Fred Woodworth
ATHEISM
AND
JUSTICE
In Danbury, Connecticut
not long ago, defense arguments were made in court on behalf of one Arne Johnson,
accused in the stabbing death of another man. A routine
case? Not when Johnson's attorney Martin Minnella began
trying to introduce evidence involving "demonic possession" and objecting to not being allowed to ask jurors if they
believed in the devil. According to Minnella, his client
deserves to be judged not guilty of this crime because at the
time of the act Johnson was under control by an evil power
which had, as it were, taken over his neurological apparatus
without his consent and had utilized his body to perform
various actions, including this murder.
Fortunately, in this case, Judge Robert Callahan of the
Superior Court disallowed any testimony pertaining to
demons or devils, and so the particular trial cannot be cited
as favorable precedent in future cases where the religious
attempt to evade guilt by placing responsibility on unseen
forces. However, such is the climate of the times, we cannot
doubt that some such precedent will be established before
long. Already cases have been seen in which astrological
signs and charts found their way into the courtroom as
occasional determinants
of use in sentencing, or as mitigating factors introduced or attemptedly
introduced
by
defendants.
The system and tradition of courtroom precedents may
exclude a certain tactic innumerable times, but once it gains
a single entry it sets the stage for use and re-use by those
who cite its appearance
as an instance of acceptable
strategy. The idiotic must therefore be defeated a thousand
times, because it has only to win ONCE to ensnarl and
poison justice forever after.
While many have observed and remarked on various
instances in which supernatural
influence has been proposed as a defense in charged crimes, so far a terrible
consequence of such defenses has escaped notice by these
commentators.
Legal precedent,
like law itself. is a twoedged sword; what may be used as defense may be used as
well as prosecution. The acceptance
in court of some
defense position involving demons, elves, or jesus christ,
might therefore have profound consequences
when later
proceedings ACCUSE this or that person of acting under
the influence of these non-existent causes. What a short
step we have really come from the barbaric witch trials of
puritanism or the catholic inquisition!
That justice has progressed such a little distance is really
no news to the Atheist who attempts to utilize the judicial
system, or to defend himself or herself from some charge.
Testimony from each witness is elicited in an aura of mystic
certainty-of
"swearing," and archaic phrases invoking
something called "god." The reasonable person who enters
these proceedings with testimony he knows to be true, may
discover he is barred from uttering a single word because of
his refusal to acknowledge supernatural,
religious entities.

Poetry
The Shroud
The eager eyes of a soldier's son
Ablaze with the tales of war
While a boastful dad brags of battles won
And flaunts his hero's scar
Little wonder when he comes of age
That a youth should somehow crave
To relive his hero's gallant page
As the flags begin to wave
Full proud he'll follow glory's trail
And rush to the battle's din
No thought his valiant cause might fail
He will fight to the bitter end
Undaunted so he'll man the lines
Where he'll face some foreign sons
Or charge unwarned by the danger signs
Now flashed by the pounding guns
A sudden fear willseize the boy
As his buddies scream in pain
Soon he'll be just a battle toy
Little glory then to gain
But time has passed to wonder now
That seas of blood must run
Mid thundering shell and smoke filled sky
It will flow till the killing's done
OH NO NEUTRONS
You've heard of the Neutron Bomb,
Climax of man's absurdity ...
Regardless - our leaders approved.
We have atom bombs,
Nuclear missiles, poison gases,
Planes, ships, submarines,
Rockets, guns, cetera, cetera,
And never ending fear of wars
They all are dirty killers,
But the neutron's clean and kind.
It kills but doesn't leave
A bloody mess behind; it's gentle,
Won't scratch the fender
Or dent the heavy tank,
Doesn't destroy the buildings
Or touch the money in the bank.
Neutron kills all living things
Fries them soft and done
Same as you would roast the meat
In your Micro oven
But who is gonna kill the tank
If the driver is dead?
The tank keeps going, not knowing where,
And it won't stop till nothing's left
Standing
anywhere.

writer's name to Jim Jones should be barred from journalistic employment for life.
But the Bay Guardian was not the only news medium to
sell out to Jones. Take the case of KRON-TV, San
Francisco.
On page 79 and 80, Mrs. Mills reports former Peoples
Temple members feared for safety of loved ones who had
been moved to Jonestown, Guyana. They wanted to catch
the attention of Cyrus Vance. A demonstration was
planned. Late the night before, all the TV stations were
called and told a demonstration was planned against the
Peoples Temple.
Mrs. Mills reports that of all the stations, most just noted
the time and place of the demonstration. The San Francisco Examiner and Newsweek and New West magazines
had done stories exposing some of Jones'operations.
But KRON asked lots of questions.
The next morning, only one TV station failed to showKRON-but it was obvious from pamphlets being handed
out by Jones' people, that the KRON conversation had
been leaked to the Peoples Temple.
Why would an allegedly honest news television operation
do such a thing? No one may know for sure. KRON is
owned by the San Francisco Chronicle. And its big
columnist is Herb Caen.
Mrs. Mills reports in her book that Caen consistently
bowed at Jones' feet, journalistically, even after the truth
began coming out.
In 1977, New West magazine broke the first big story
against Jones (despite a suspicious burglary at the New
West editorial offices). The report triggered an investigation
by Mayor Moscone.
But what did Caen write? That Jones was retaining two
toplibel lawyers. That's reported on page 68 of Six. Years
With God.
On page 70, Mrs. Millsreports on newspaper stories that
appeared on Aug. 17, 1977. The San Francisco Progress
reported, "Government Checks Follow Temple Members
to Guyana." A headline from the Santa Rosa Press
Democrat told about a possible exodus by all Temple

-consideration
and should not even be scrutinized, much
less challenged. Often, the religious community, en masse,
rises to 'defend the government largess or preferred proffering. This is especially so if the particular instance of aid to
a particular religious institution is a manifestation
of a
generic type of aid to religion in general. That is, if the entire
religious community sees that the basic premise will benefit
all denominations, of the judco-christian sect specifically, it
joins in concert in defense of the government favor, or aid.
From time to time the religious institutions which would be
affected by the legal theoretics involved voluntarily become
a party to the litigation. In fact, in 1963 when the Murray
family filed a 6&urt'case to t(,\x the income of religious
businesses, the roman catholic-church
intervened and the
case became popularly knownas Murray v. Maryland and
the roman catholic church. For a nation predicated on
state/church separation, such a situation only speaks to the
bizarre. The media, often as not, do not purpo.rt to
recognize that a bifurcation of outlandish proportion has
developed. On one side. is a concerned, indignant citizen
going into a court which is a part of the apparatus of the
state of which he is a compulsory (by birth) subject and on
the other side is the entire power of that state with the
massive persuasive ability of religion standing with it against
the single citizen. The state has all the time and money in the
world, including the coerced-from-him
taxes of that single
litigant, to use against him. The state has so-to-speak "free"
legal researchers, legal stenographers,
lawyers, the advantage of working within its own court system where it pays
the salaries of the judges, appoints the judges, cohabits with
the judges in the same buildings. It has free telephone
service. It has access to many legal documents which are
often not published, most notably the briefs which have
been filed in ot her cases, in vast libraries of files. It has every
service at its command, including state printing presses,
personnel, constant access to the media which are orthodox and protective of the status quo. The lone litigant, the
concerned citizen, is immediately faced with a legal bill
which can bankrupt any person of average means. If his
chosen attorney writes him a letter to tell him to come into
the office to pay his bill, often as not the writing of that letter
is charged as a $15.00 fee against him. Money is needed
upfront and immediately. The attorney, who generally has
other clients, gives-often-inadequate
attention to the
case since he must invest his time in more lucrative legal
practice. Cases based on principle, seeking to correct
legislative malfeasance, do not bring monetary awards. The
most that can be expected
is the rich satisfaction of
knowing that an important principle's continuation
has
been safeguarded and a bad legislative enactment has been
set aside. Usually what is sought is (1) a declarative
judgment and (2) an injuction. That is to say, the litigant
wants the court (1) to judge and declare the practice to be
unconstitutional
(i.e., outside the parameters of what the
political premises of the nation envision as being correct or
acceptable)
and (2) to order or enjoin the offending
governmental institution from cantinuance of the practice
which had been initiated by the attacked specific legislatian
involved. This brings no. maney into. the packet of the
attarney who. has been hired, and the realities are that a
victory will not bring the attarney a campensating
fee.
Recently several courts have held that legal fees may be
recovered. In order to. gain these an additional suit must be
Austin. Texas
filed after the first one is wan, and only if it is wan. This could
take anywhere from ane to. two. years to. accomplish and the
court may, in its discretion, set the amount of legal fee to. be
recovered. Few attorneys can wait this lang and the general
rule is that the litigant pays as the case proceeds. Therefore,
the attarney must seek payment of his work as he invests
his effarts. He has no. alternative. After all, de minimis, the
attarney has rent, a legal secretary whose salary must be
promptly paid, a family to. support, a reputation to. be made
in the community, and cetera. Following the history of any
one of the state/church
separation cases is to. watch a game
af musical chairs as ane attarney after another abandons
the lane citizen litigant and is replaced far a short while by
another and then another. Often the course of the case is
disrupted and serious cansequences
derive from the different theoretics of different attorneys involved.
Meanwhile, of course, the state-in
splendid pawer-can
simply assign several attorneys out of its legal pool to. sit an
the case far years if necessary. While the lane citizen litigant
struggles to. continue, the situation remains as it is, with the
violation cantinuing. The classic maneuver of the state, with
its religiaus ally, is to. elangate the case in time and to.
obfuscate the issues. This deprives the litigation of its
"newsworthy" attraction, far what media will follow a four
or five year case, which surfaces only now and then into. a
reportable item? But, without the necessary attention the
lane citizen litigant cannot attract the financing or the
support (psychalagical
and ather) that he needs to. continue. He is effectively isolated. Often, this leads to. same self
doubts. The litigant wanders if he is really enlarging the
import of the issue since no. ane seems to. care abaut it
except himself. He wanders what makes him feel that he
should, alone, undertake the uneven struggle to. correct
what apparently is disregarded
by everyane else. If he is
steadily ignored, isolated, without allies, financially drained,
but life gaes an as usual around him, the case is mast aften ~
dropped alang the way. At mast it survives only through a
lower court exercise, at either city, county: or state level.
Discauraged, disheartened, ofttimes frightened, but always
dismayed, the lane citizen litigant simply gives up. There are
literally thousands of such instances in the legal records,
Expecting to. have his complaint aired in court, the lane
citizen litigant is always shocked when the "issue is not
joined" immediately. The state/church
combination opponent prefers, instead of facing the issue, to. attack collaterally (legally: an the nature of the procedure), Seizing
the issue is exactly what they desire to. avoid, usually
because they know they are vialating the state/church
separation concept. They simply want to. "get away with"
whatever they are daing or propasing to. do., without any
challenge. Often as not the unknawledgeable
litigant will
find that he himself is under attack as to. whether or not he
has the requisite right (or legal capacity) to sue. The issue
will nat be the state/church
separation
violation which
assaults his sense of justice, but rather whether there is "a
case or controversy,"
whether he has "standing to. sue,"
whether he has been guilty of "failing to state a cause of
action," whether the relief requested
is "appropriate
or
available" and so. on. This is not what that citizen litigant
wanted when he appealed to the court. He wanted his gripe
heard. He is instead swallowed with procedural matters
which become a swamp in which he is drowned before the
issue at hand comes to a .hearing, if it ever does. The

IThe two exceptions 'are Oliver Wendell Holmes, who was an Atheist, and
William O. Douglas, who was becoming one.
Madalyn Murray O'Hair
Short-hand definitions of the legal terms used are as follows:
lack of standing to sue - you are not the proper person to be in the
court room to question what goes on;'
,
no case or controversy - the subject of the suit is not that which is
appropriate for judicial determination; it is theoretical or political;
failure to state a cause of action - it is none of your business; you have
stated no cause to bring the matter to the court for its action;
relief requested cannot be granted - the court cannot remedy the
situation, which is beyond its jurisdiction.
These definitions are in very, very broad layman terms. Charles Alan
Wright, the most noted expert on constitutional law in the United States,
who writes most of the texts on constitutional law and who teaches at the
University of Texas, takes hours to discuss these concepts and writes
hundreds of pages on each of them. Please bear that in mind. The Supreme
Court itself has said that these are" complicated specialities ... the solution
of which ... is more or less determined by the specific circumstances of
individual situations." And that is a way for the United States Supreme
Court to say that it will not take what it considers to be a "hot potato."
