American Atheists & secrecy

Dark goings-on chez American Atheists. Their chief, Ellen Johnson, has stepped down. First it was given out that she was leaving off her own bat for "personal reasons". Then that she had left "involuntarily". I.e. had been sacked! So the 1st statement was a lie. From the holier-than-thou atheists who always respect the truth. To date, no explanation has been announced. Secretive, no?

More interesting is the story of her predecessor, Madalyn (sic) O'Hair (sic). She disowned one of her sons in 1980 after he converted to the hated Christianity (1).

Then, 1995, she disappeared with her husband and another son.

In 2001, the former office manager of Mercan Atheists was found guilty of kidnapping them, forcing them to withdraw their money, then killing them. He also murdered an accomplice. Later in 1995 most of the money was stolen by another gang, who had a key to the safe deposit.

(1) He was an alcoholic druggie, but this is quite normal in Christian America.
