This streaming video highlights what would happen if all atheists were to leave America. It tells you who would leave, what would change, and gives a look at other countries that have virtually no Atheists. [2:18]

Youtube sez the video's no longer available. Hmmmmm.....
Worked fine for me. I'm in France, don't know if that matters or not?
The one mistake I saw is it implied Stephen Hawking would leave the USA if all the atheists left. I don't know if Dr Hawking is an atheist or not, but last I knew, he's still in England.
Not "it's" but "its"! ARG!
It'd also be interesting if it showed how nice it was to live in predominantly atheistic places like Scandinavia...
They probably just wanted a famous face. Even the most lame-brained theist would recognise Hawking.
If all the atheists left the United States, I would have to watch its demise from abroad. And it would be sad. I am for staying and fighting for the Republic.
The video refers to a lot of people as "atheists" who actually have the strongest irrational faith of all: they have faith in progress/science/technology.
These people aren't atheists, they are "self gods."
This video amounts to little more than an emotional appeal with a few statistics thrown in to make it look "sciencey." I would be far more swayed by a rational argument in which these statistics were presented in a table, with references so that I could independently determine their veracity and the context in which they were generated. I also object to the portrayal of all non-atheists as equivalent to the AK47-toting Iranian pictured at the end of the video. Do you need to liken non-Atheists to terrorists in order to make your point? If so, you should reconsider what your real purpose is: to point out that many valuable Americans are also atheists, and that we would be poorer without them.
