Former Editor Sues Washington Times For Religious Discrimination

November 29, 2009 on CNN -

The former opinion editor of The Washington Times has filed a religious discrimination complaint against the paper.

Richard Miniter says the company president "coerced" him into attending a Unification Church event in 2008 that included a mass wedding. He says the company launched a background investigation into him earlier this year after he made a joke about the church to a co-worker.

The Times was founded by the leader of the Unification Church, the Rev. Sun Myung Moon, in 1982.

@ AtheistMediaBlog: You must spend a lot of time scanning the news to come up with these clips. Your work is appreciated!

I never realized there were major newspapers owned by churches.

WOW!! I didn't know that Sun Myung Moon had a plan to overthrow US government! That's quite shocking you know! You guys should throw Moon into jail for high treason!! It turns out that he was also planning to overthrow my country's government too! Luckily, a regime change took place on August 30th here in Japan, and the new ruling party is opposed to Sun Myng Moon and Son Tae Chuk!!

I might even say atheists are more moral than most xtians, for the sole reason that atheists don't believe in sin. They do not behave morally only because they fear retribution from god.

If you are only moral because you fear god, you are hardly a moral person at all. A good person will do good acts because that is what they believe is the right thing, regardless of censequence. Human solidarity is among the most charished principles of many atheists, despite not believing in an afterlife.

[IanBillings00]

I think you are ignorant and caught up in an unrealistic world-view that teaches hate and discrimination.

Atheists are among the most moral people in the world. The many secular charities brought about by atheist individuals do more good, without prosthelytizing, than most xtian charities would ever be able to do. This is because secular charities have no hidden agenda of trying to indoctrinate people, or scare the people they help into xtianity with deceit like "condoms carry AIDS."
