Secular Sunday – An Atheist Goes To A Funeral…

A few years ago, someone I know lost her younger sibling unexpectedly. I can’t remember how old he was but maybe mid-20s? In her grief, she approached me and said “You’re an atheist, right? How do you deal with loss without believing in God?” It was a tough question – not because I didn’t know […]

Secular Sunday – Coca Cola Died For Your Sins? (Happy Easter!)

As a slight break from non-stop “Save the Library” posts lately, let’s just take a moment to appreciate the incredible crassness of this grocery store Easter display (which I saw on Reddit and I think is from somewhere in the US.)

Secular Sunday – Moose Jaw Mother Wants To Remove “Lord’s Prayer” From Public School

It blows my mind that a vast majority of parents apparently voted that playing the Lord’s Prayer in school was okay in the first place. But I guess the vast majority once voted that black students shouldn’t mix with white students either and that injustice eventually got corrected as well.
