"This is a basic moral values issue," stated Atheists United president Stuart Bechman. "Religious people who wish to define marriage restrictively are free to do so for themselves, but it is frankly immoral for one group to dictate their restrictive views of a basic human right on all citizens."
"Those who oppose gay marriage should simply refuse to marry someone of their own gender."
Atheists United will be combining its efforts and resources with other gay and civil-rights groups over the course of the campaign season to educate the public on the reasons why this amendment should be defeated.
Atheists United is a 501(c)(3) educational organization dedicated to the protection of civil rights of atheists and other non-theists and public education of and support for the US atheist community.
