MySpace Deletes Largest Atheist Group in the World.

Cleveland, OH.— Social networking site, MySpace.com, panders to religious intolerants by deleting atheist users, groups and content.

Early this month, MySpace again deleted the Atheist and Agnostic Group (35,000 members). This deletion, due largely to complaints from people who find atheism offensive, marks the second time MySpace has cancelled the group since November 2007.

What’s unique in this case is that the Atheist and Agnostic Group was the largest collection of organized atheists in the world. The group had its own Wikipedia entry, and in April won the Excellence in Humanist Communication Award (2007) from the Humanist Chaplaincy at Harvard University and the Secular Student Alliance.

“MySpace refuses to undelete the group, although it never violated any terms of service,” said Bryan Pesta, Ph.D., the group’s moderator. “When the largest Christian group was hacked, MySpace’s Founder, Tom Anderson, personally restored the group, and promised to protect it from future deletions.”

“It is an outrage if Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation and the world’s largest social networking site tolerate discrimination against atheists and agnostics-- and if this situation goes unresolved I’ll have little choice but to believe they do,” said Greg Epstein, humanist chaplain of Harvard University. News Corporation, Murdoch’s global media corporation which also includes Fox News, purchased MySpace in 2005.

“My personal profile was deleted as well, and despite weeks of emails to customer service, plus a petition signed by 500 group members, MySpace won’t budge. I think these actions send a clear message to the 30 million godless people in America (and to businesses whose money was spent displaying ads on our group) that we are not welcome on MySpace,” said Pesta.

Not when its privately owned...they can do whatever the fuck they wanna do. However, if it doesnt violate their terms of services and policies, they are now breaking their own rules.

If a site says "we can delete whatever we want for whatever reason", and YOu agree to it, guess what? They have the power to do so and you cant do SQUAT about it.

Siccness could ban you all for being Atheists too. Sure it is shitty, but it isn't about free speech or separation of church and state. Knock free enterprise if anything.

who cares about athiests anyway?
rights are god given and since there is no god there are no rights.

you dont believe in a god therefore you shall not receive any favors in life you fucking morons.

you dont have rights because you renounced your soul.

remember when bart simpson sold his soul to millhouse and couldnt get the automatic doors to open at the kwik-e-mart.. thats you, mr. athiest. no top 8 for you.
