2004 election and lay out a strategy for putting Atheists, Freethinkers,
Secular Humanists and other nonbelievers on the 'Road to Victory' in
future elections.
"We need to study how the religious right built up their power base over
a three-decade long period, what lessons they learned, and what we need
to learn from them," says Johnson.
