Missouri Town Was Founded as Atheist Utopia [PHOTOS]
Liberal, Missouri, was supposed to be a town "without God, Hell, Church or Saloon"
Liberal, Missouri, was founded as an “atheist utopia” in 1880 by George Walser, a lawyer and Missouri state legislator. The town was named after the nearby Liberal League, to which Walser belonged, and advertised itself to atheists across the country as a community that “has neither God, Hell, Church, nor Saloon.”
