As we mark the 80th anniversary of WWII's end, I’ve come to believe that in losing that Greatest Generation, we are losing more than just the memories of combat. We are losing the memory and experience of what it means to fight fascism and authoritarianism. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/what-we-lo...

The regions with the highest concentration of atheists?
The Pacific Northwest and New England.
Vermont, New Hampshire and Oregon at 9%+ atheist.
The fewest atheists can be found (surprise, surprise) in the Bible Belt.
Less than 3% in Alabama and Mississippi.
