When seeing an article in The New York Times about the rise of an Atheist alliance, you aren't expecting many mentions of South Carolina, home of Charleston the "Holy City."

More than ever, America’s atheists are linking up and speaking out — even here in South Carolina, home to Bob Jones University, blue laws and a legislature that last year unanimously approved a Christian license plate embossed with a cross, a stained glass window and the words "I Believe."
Though, I suppose if one had to pick a city in South Carolina where a movement like this would happen, it would be Charleston.
