Atheists in Minnesota are celebrating that their lack of belief now merits an official bookstore category. While most major bookstores have had special sections for books on Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and even the Occult for years, “endcaps” (as these displays are known in the biz) for atheism have only recently started appearing in local Borders Books stores. In addition to Minnesota, readers of the popular Pharyngula science blog have reported spotting atheism displays in Borders stores in Kentucky, Kansas, Houston, and Chicago. Some readers are also planning to petition Barnes & Noble to add similar displays.
