Hey, remember that North Carolina high school Atheists club that was rejected by school officials? Looks like things have evolved.

Kalei Wilson wants to start club for Atheists.

Courtesy of the Friendly Atheist:

According to one source, “the attorney for the school district has indicated that if [Kalei] make[s] a formal request to start the SSA group with Principal [Greg] Bailey, the group should be allowed to form.”

Kalei will be meeting with the Bailey early this week to begin (again) the process of forming the group.

I just spoke with her over the phone and she told me that nearly a dozen students have already expressed interest in joining the club — which is already more than some of the other clubs at the school.

Assuming everything goes smoothly from here on out, Kalei hopes to get in as many group meetings as possible before the end of the school year and show the community that “we’re good people, not bad people.”

Well good for Kalei!

Just one more step toward gaining acceptance, and proving that Atheists are not the frightening people that some in the religious community like to paint us as.

For those who did not read my original post on this, that can be found here.
