We should all be able to support the Secular Coalition. Keeping religion out of government should be a universal non-believer's value.
We should be able to submit to someone else's authority to work towards these type of goals, even if we think we have better ideas or methods.

Interesting. I just declined to renew my membership subscription to Free Inquiry.
All my money is going to FFRF, Americans United for Separation of Church and State, and a newcomer: MRFF, Military Religious Freedom Foundation.
And I donate to Foundation Beyond Belief.
