MySpace deletes web site for atheists and agnostics
This article describes how MySpace discriminates against atheists and agnostics.
Some snippets from the article:
"For the third time in three years, what may be the largest group of organized atheists in the world is struggling to stay on MySpace, said a Cleveland State University assistant professor who founded the site for nonbelievers. MySpace deleted the 35,000-member "Atheist and Agnostic Group" on Jan. 1."
MySpace has ignored repeated requests to restore the group's site, including an online petition with more than 500 signatures, said Pesta, who was the group's moderator. "These actions send a clear message to the 30 million godless people in America that we are not welcome on MySpace," Pesta said.
"The site grew by about 10,000 people a year to just under 35,000 members by the end of 2007, Pesta said. But it was never without controversy. Two years ago, Pesta said, MySpace deleted the group after an organized campaign from Christians opposing the site. MySpace restored it and promised it would be protected, Pesta said."
