American Atheists terminates its president over sexual misconduct allegations

American Atheists , one of the most combative organizations dedicated to the promotion of secularism, has terminated its highly visible president, David Silverman, over allegations of financial and sexual misconduct. American Atheists' board announced the move on Friday hours before the website BuzzFeed News published a story detailing the allegations of two women who say Silverman, 51, had nonconsensual sexual contact with them.
