Is there an Ubuntu distro aimed at aetheists, or do you think Apple would sue over the use of "Darwin"?

I haven't heard of a Linux for Aethiests, but I did come across this article from the 2004 presidential election season over on Linux Journal. It states that the Republican incumbent used Microsoft IIS to host his campaign Web site, but that most of the Democrat challengers were hosted on Linux servers. Make of that what you will.

I think it's a mistake though to associate Darwin (& science for that matter) with religiosity or lack thereof. The far right has framed political debates in terms of religion, but religion is not a political choice. Science is not about politics or religion. But I definitely think it is appropriate in both science and religion to think about "larger questions" — such as the origin of the universe. Philosophy may be the middle ground between the two where we can explore these questions without framing the debate in purely religious or atheistic terms.

Good point, Dan, and one that the religious in Europe seem to understand intuitively and not make a fuss about, unlike the U.S.

I remember that the Clark campaign was going to work on open-source campaign-management software but I'm sure that didn't get much of a chance to go anywhere.

But I would like to go on record for associating _my_ personal beliefs in aetheism and the theory of evolution together, which was what I was un-clearly referring to in my initial post.
