    Interesting subtext. “Secular” is a code word for people who don’t want to embrace the word atheist.

      “Secular” is one of those words that is hard to pin down. A secular government is one that take no position on religion, for or against. You can be religious or an atheist, and support a secular state.

    Pride! I like it. The “nones” are the largest single religious denomination now in the U.S., but have virtually zero political power or social standing. This is a great way to frame the issue.

    Odd that they would go with the “moderately attractive blonde young woman” angle. Are there no moderately attractive young males, or non-attractive but still photogenic atheists who might make equally appropriate fodder for recruitment?
