Are Atheists And Miracles Contradictory?

When atheist Madalyn Murray O'Hair was murdered in 1995, the comfortable five-bedroom home she was living in fell to her associate Oren Tyson, director of a non-profit group sponsoring atheism. But when the taxes were not paid, the authorities confiscated the house and set Tyson's belongings out on the street in cardboard boxes. Of course, he was indignant. In response, he fashioned a sign from one of the cardboard boxes which defiantly read, "Homeless Atheist, Nam Veteran, Will Wait for a Miracle."
