An atheist sign put up in the Washington State Capitol (next to a Nativity Scene) that mysteriously disappeared last Friday has finally been found. In a ditch.

Tech Buzz The site - a parody of online religion giant Beliefnet - is a clever marketing tool for Bill Maher’s documentary Religulous. The truly religious, of course, don’t need the Internet to stay true to their beliefs - they’re dialed-in to the big guy upstairs 24/7, thank you very much.
