Aw hey, Leviticus is the bestest book of all, until you get to Revelations. It's full of Fun Facts and Useful Advice. Bet you didn't know that a bat is a kind of bird, and that you should not eat one. (Lev. 11: 19)

But other towns are much more broadminded. According to today's NYT, even atheists are sometimes allowed to lead the government-sponsored prayer. In the town of Greece, NY, near Rochester,

"For more than a decade starting in 1999, the town board began its public meetings with a prayer from a “chaplain of the month.” Town officials said that members of all faiths and <b>atheists were welcome to give the opening prayer. </b>"

Reminder: atheism isn't a faith, religion or a set of beliefs analogous to a religious doctrine. Atheists simply eschew such ways of thinking, asserting that beliefs in the supernatural are absurd and meaningless. Atheists don't subscribe to a doctrine or dogma of "non-belief" or worship a "no-God" because they think that the whole matter of religion is utter nonsense.

Be fair: how would anyone even <i>know</i> about Christianity if those Bibles weren't there?
