Is atheism going mainstream? This week, check out our cover story about the Sacramento couple who launched the Brights, a term that describes a collection of people involved in what’s been called “the new atheism” movement. Elsewhere in the issue, don’t miss SN&R’s reporting on why some of the very people who run medical cannabis collectives don’t like Prop. 19, the November legalize marijuana initiative. And oh yeah.
