In support of "How Many Non-Believers" - an LA Brights letter to the LA Times.

Dear LA Brights:
Writing letters.
It's one of "our things" (*Cosas Nostra!)

Here's the template for an effective Letter to the Times (or anywhere else):

Took their piece and showed I had read it (we concur).
Made my own point altogether (morality vs. religion) and I'll hope
that's enough to catch their eye and get us into the paper.

I've introduced another whole topic, therefore a newsworthy subject
unto itself and fun speculation for them.

Pick your own "twist" and scribe away...the LA Times editors may be
reached at letters@latimes.com.

Here's the story:

Here's my letter (I did use the BRIGHTS tag this time. Seemed appropriate.)

Dear Editor, LA TIMES:
Members of The Los Angeles BRIGHTS ("Reality Now!") were raised in all
manner of households: Hindu, Catholic, Jewish, Evangelical,
others...even Atheist).

We concur that those who don't believe are significantly undercounted.

The general population is beginning to realize that morality stems
from being human, not from being religious.

Religion cannot impose morality upon one's personality, you either
were born with a conscience or you weren't!

There are many ways to live a good life, be a good person, and a
positive social contributor and not be affiliated with religion
whatsoever.

Frish - Fearless Leader, LA Brights
