Some Atheism-Related Political Articles

Penn Jillette with a great monologue/rant about various aspects of religion & politics and where they intersect – from how most “Christians” have united under a single banner in the last 40 years at the expense of early atheists like Mark Twain to the growing influence of non-believers in politics plus Mitt Romney’s magic underwear […]

Lifting Back the Veil on Secret Mormon Rituals

As if Mitt Romney hasn’t been damaged enough by secret camera videos, this clip just came out, only a couple weeks before the US election, which claims to peel back the veil on secret Mormon rituals which demonstrate, among other things, how a Romney Presidency would eliminate any barriers between church and state. Of course, […]

Why You Can Still Celebrate Thanksgiving (Even If You Hate Colonialism)

I’m not sure if the person who wrote this article about feeling conflicted at Thanksgiving is First Nations (or Aboriginal/Indian/Native depending on who you’re talking to and/or what country – or part of the country – you’re in) but the person who posted it to Facebook definitely is which is part of the reason I […]

Music Monday – “I don’t go in for ancient wisdom/I don’t believe just ’cause ideas are tenacious/It means that they’re worthy.”

Saw this meme on Facebook and thought I’d share since June 25 is halfway to Christmas and since it fits with Music Monday, why not post a Christmas song today? I’ve posted this one before but every time I listen to it, I just love it more and more. So sweet and funny and perfect. […]

The Fireplace Delusion: An Insight Into Theism for Atheists

Well-known atheist, Sam Harris, recently posted “The Fireplace Delusion” as an analogy to help atheists understand how theists see the world (and especially how they feel when their beliefs are criticized).

What Do Atheists Think When They Read The Bible/Is Religion Dying?

A couple religion related things I’ve come across recently… On Quora, someone asks what non-believers who have read the entire Bible think when they read it? Is religion declining worldwide?  That is definitely the trend and a recent discussion with a co-worker left us wondering whether religion as we know it would cease to exist […]

Gorilla Cam

This is simultaneously the coolest and saddest thing I’ve seen. (The zoo does that to me.) It’s also got a nice twist at the end that proves we are, without-a-doubt, evolved from apes! 😉
