The History of the American Atheist Movement
Madeline Murray O'Hare's notoriety began to fade in the late 80s and early 90s. She had diabetes, a hip replacement, and heart disease. Madeline could barely walk, much less carry the cross of the entire atheist movement. Her son Bill claimed that American Atheist was entirely supported by a little more than 2,500 paying members. George H.W. Bush said he didn't know if atheists should be considered citizens or patriots.
