I do not highlight positive stories nearly enough, and I'm going to start trying to do a better job of it (at least until the world ends on October 21st). After all, we do get some good news once in awhile. Here are some recent examples:- The state of Oregon is in the process of eliminating "faith healing" as a legal defense, clearing the way for prosecutors to go after parents who let their children die because their religious delusions tell them medical treatment is bad.
- The Freedom From Religion Foundation is not giving up on stopping the National Day of Prayer after their previous claim was rejected. They have filed a request for a rehearing.
- There is some evidence that the audience for right-wing talk radio may be shrinking. Even some of the major players like Hannity and Limbaugh have seen their ratings drop considerably.
- Home Depot is standing firm on their support for diversity in the face of a boycott by Christian extremist group, the American Family Association.
- A new atheist group in the Philippines, the Philippine Atheists and Agnostics Society, is growing rapidly.
