As an atheist, do I get more?  I would suggest that the decline in membership in labor unions can be directly tied to the fall in income for working people.  Unions are a counter balance to the inherent greed of capitalism.  Post WWII union membership grew to record numbers.  Income of union workers set records.  All workers benefited from the inroads made by organized labor.  Reagan's all out attack on workers was the turning point in the road that brought us to where we are today.  All of the well turned phrases and good intentions of Iconic leaders will not replace the work needed to get workers back to a place in which they have enough clout to stand together and get their fair share.
