The Obama administration has offended some atheists.
One day after Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack told reporters he gets on his knees every day and prays for rain, the Council for Secular Humanism — a leading atheist group — accused the Obama administration of sending the wrong message to farmers caught in one of the worst droughts in decades.
“It sends the wrong message to distraught farmers when the Agriculture secretary suggests that the best response is to pray,” Tom Flynn, executive director of the council and editor of its journal Free Inquiry, said in a statement.
