[**Atheists for Jesus**](http://www.atheists-for-jesus.com)

And you thought “Jews for Jesus” was weird.

I had a bit of a look **Libertarian** , and it didn’t look that strange to me.

My background is Quaker (I’m not religious), and I’ve always thought that much of the new testament is both a repudiation of the old and thoroughly compatible with what is sometimes called secular humanism. Maybe I didn’t dig deep enough into the link you posted, but that seemed to be the general flavour of it.

Yeah, you’re probably right Pic.

I dunno, I guess it was the juxtaposition of “Atheists” and “Jesus” tied together genitively that caused me blink a coupla times, and go “huh?”.

Your Friend,
