Atheists warn followers of unholy data leak, hint dark deeds may have tried to make it go away

In an email to members sighted by The Register , the organisation says former staffers recently started a rival atheist organisation that has since emailed the Alliance’s members. The Alliance suspects its new rival was only able to do so because former staffers took some data when they left.
[2]
The email says the Alliance has contacted the rival organisation and secured an admission that it has “a file" of data in its possession.
“We asked them to delete the file and certify it has been deleted and not shared with any third party but we have been unable to reach an agreement ... on how this should be done.”
[3]
“Consequently, tomorrow we will issue a public ultimatum: either they destroy our data and certify that, or we will report the incident for law enforcement authorities to investigate.”
The Alliance will publish the ultimatum at 14:00 GMT on Friday, February 19th. The email links to the ultimatum and while it is not yet live, the URL provided contains the text “We-were-offered-5000-to-keep-quiet”.
Which suggests this data leak may about to become an unbelievable and unholy mess!

The Register prays the outcome is peaceful. ®

Re: So what do atheists believe in...
Same could be said about religious people, I am not listing examples or we would be here all day.
Re: Same could be said about religious people
If you're so sure in your faith (atheism isn't agnosticism) why are you so touchy?
More in common with the God botherers than you think, perhaps.....
Re: Same could be said about religious people
I guess it was probably the insinuation that atheists are more likely to commit crimes, which is a bit of an aspersion in itself.
It also shows a certain lack of self-awareness when you consider all the murders, deaths and crusades committed in the name of religion.
an organisation that works to demystify atheism
You don't believe in any gods.
There - demystified for you for free :)
Paris - clearly still mystified.
Americans and Religion
What is it with Americans where even the lack of religion seemingly needs to have a figurehead organisation? Ultimately leading to that organisation forking, and then there being >1 engaged in bitter warfare with each other.
It really is taking the worst elements of Yank Christianity - evangelism - and sticking an atheist brand on it. You've only got to look at some of the US Evangelicals to reach the conclusion that had they been around when he was crucified, they'd probably have been trying their luck selling the fucking nails. Why would anyone want to reproduce that?
Re: Why would anyone want to reproduce that?
Money.
Re: Americans and Religion
Heretic atheists. Who'd have thought!
Sounds familiar
.....started a rival atheist organisation.....
So is this Reformation 2.0?
So what do atheists believe in...
... not obeying the law, apparently. Whether written on stone tablets or in statute books.
