"Perhaps it is time to devote more effort to establishing a global network of Freethought Halls to serve as an alternative to faith-based outreach programs.
You are in it. It is called the Internet.
This is one of the halls. There are many others.
Even the thought police of the theocracies cannot block the satellite internet signals, although they can make the computers that receive them contraband. But book burning and computer banning cannot work, because the freethought underground will hand copy the important tracts if necessary."

I believe that the Communist Eastern Bloc Countries and their Soviet "overlords" spent much time and resources attempting to block Radiofree Europe and also attempted to enforce bans against "tuning-in and listening," but the natural curiousity and hunger for knowledge overcame any efforts to block them. Today, the Chinese and North Korean governments are attempting the same intellectual blockade against free access to the internet but the new technologies and the urge to gather information, unfiltered by the goverment, are too strong a pair of forces to be defeated. Thought police can only fail, no matter how hard they try to control and oppress.
