Nothing traps people in poverty more than coddling them with handouts. So of course crippling America's work ethic, shoving illegal books down our children's throats, and spitting on the face of baby Jesus go togther:
It's not enough that a national survey released Tuesday found atheists were the highest-scoring group on basic religious knowledge — now members of Metro State Atheists are being regular goody-two-shoes.
The group began a three-day campus food drive Tuesday dubbed "Food for Freethought."
The atheists take in nonperishable food items or cash donations from fellow students or other passers-by. In return, they hand out free books.
These are books that have been banned, censored or at least roundly criticized, said group co-founder Joel Guttormson.
The event dovetailed with "Banned Books Week," the last week of September, when hundreds of libraries and bookstores draw attention to what they believe is the mounting problem of censorship...

According to a 2009 Pew report, people with no religion make up 16.1 percent of adult Americans: atheists, 1.6 percent; agnostics, 2.4 percent; and those who say they are simply not part of organized religion, 12.1 percent....
...Guttormson said he gets hate mail every time his group does a public event.
