American Atheists is asking the city of Montgomery to now provide evidence that sending clergy to support victims at violent crime scenes will lower crime in the city.
“Considering that the program sends pastors to crime scenes after the fact to console victims, American Atheists questions the city's claim that grief counseling for victims is for the purpose of reducing violent crime or acting as a deterrent,” the national organization said. “American Atheists will be requesting that city officials provide the studies or other factual evidence they are using to support this claim for which taxpayer dollars are being used.”
American Atheists released this statement after receiving a response from the city of Montgomery after the organization claimed the city’s Operation Good Shepherd program is unconstitutional.
The city of Montgomery says its new program that dispatches trained clergy to comfort victims at crime scenes is in an effort to combat violent crime; its purpose is not for “religious promotion or recruitment.”

I was just thinking...the term 'atheist' has 2 'T's in it. the letter 'T' looks an awful lot like a cross. I think a name change is in order...DON'T YOU?
