Not only does a national association say there’s no proof for the existence of God, the fact is there is no proof for the existence of God, and anybody who believes there is needs to prove it. And oh, by the way, faith in God is not proof for the existence of God; just thought I’d clarify that.
Anyway, it’s good to know that sensible people (atheists) have come together to help out a teenage girl. TGO

CRANSTON, R.I. (AP) — A national association that says there’s no proof for the existence of God is managing a scholarship fund set up for a teenage atheist at the center of a dispute over a prayer banner at a Rhode Island school.
The American Humanist Association says 16-year-old Jessica Ahlquist was targeted with online threats after she challenged the constitutionality of the display at Cranston High School West. It says she stood up against her critics “with class and style.”
A federal judge last month ordered the banner removed. A school committee on Thursday decided not to appeal.
Blogger Hemant Mehta started a campaign at the Friendly Atheist website to raise money for Ahlquist.
The Friendly Atheist says the fund has brought in more than $40,000. The fundraiser runs through the end of February.
