This is a sad sign of our troubled times here in the United States. However, it is heartening to hear that American Atheists has sacrificed their plans and made a reasonable decision to pass the baton to the North.

On this National Day of Reason, too many people are dallying with faith and fable. They know it is fake but try to will it to be true or they value the wishful over the truthful. This is not OK.

Religious hypocrisy is nothing new, but this is PR malpractice and we need to spread the word.

Religious myths have no appeal. Pondering the deep history of the Universe, life on Earth, Human prehistory and the historical record is far more grand and inspiring.

Religion isn’t the only source of purpose, belonging, or wonder.

Secular communities, humanist values, science, and art all offer deep meaning without dogma.

Life is precious not because it’s divinely ordained—but because it’s ours to live fully and freely.

Interesting. Yet "anther" is not in its dictionary.

Rep. Tim Burchett Says NPR And PBS Must Be Defunded Because "They Hate Our Lord" Rep. Tim Burchett says NPR and PBS must be defunded because "they literally hate this country": "They hate everything it's about. They hate our patriotism. They hate our Lord."

According to Rep. Tim Burchett, NPR and PBS must be defunded because they “hate our lord”.

Is he talking about God? Or Trump?

Stuart Vyse’s lastest column, “Worse Than Murder on Fifth Avenue,” catalogs the various ways Donald Trump has gone about “poisoning our information landscape” in his time in public life and, more crucially, “the human cost of [that] misinformation.”

Was it at least hallucinogenic?
Religious people can be so predisposed to see things that they don't need drugs. Their minds are already altered.

This is a very good summary of the psychology and sociology of belief and how to (and how not to) reach the misinformed.

This feeling should prompt doubt more often, but the social grip of religion is strong.
