The Record: Blogs blast snub of atheist club
The rejection of a group for atheists and other “freethinkers” as a campus club at Wilfrid Laurier University has touched off a firestorm on the Internet.
Angry e-mails and at least 19 blogs, some with international readership, are sizzling the e-waves.
Writers professing “atheism, agnosticism, humanism, or just general non-belief” are blasting WLU’s students’ union for intolerance toward people with no religious affiliation, said Anatolijs Venovcevs, co-founder of Laurier Freethought Alliance.
The writers are particularly incensed that religion-based groups, such as Laurier Christian Fellowship, have campus club status at Laurier.
