A lot of the problems in the U.S. can be traced to the fact that we DON'T TEACH OUR KIDS ABOUT RELIGION.

No, I don't mean to teach them Jesus is the Lord. I mean to teach them, from a phenomenological approach, what religions are and where they came from. This reduces extremism!

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills!

Conservatives and MAGA fans who want to honor Charlie Kirk should do the one thing he said he wanted on multiple occasions: push the Trump administration to release every single document from the Epstein files.

Hey just FYI: someone dying doesn’t make them immune from criticism.

Also, critiquing someone after they have passed way is not the same as justifying their death or approving of their murder.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 on X: "I’m not interested in interviewing with a group that stormed my office, had to be removed by Capitol Police, and brought along the domestic terrorist leader of the Tesla Takedown protest, the same mob that organized the destruction of dealerships and private property.

Hello @donlemonofficial.bsky.social I’m a reporter with Raw Story, is this real? x.com/repmtg/statu...

Beyond the Gods - The Freethinker Two excerpts from a recently published book.

Today in the Freethinker, two excerpts on death and the secular outlook from Nicholas E. Meyer's recently published book 'Beyond the Gods', from Hypatia Press. @davidgmcafee.bsky.social

I keep seeing this dumb anti-drag argument that drag queens ONLY seek out children’s schools and libraries, and don’t, for example, perform at senior living facilities.

This argument backfires and shows the individual’s ignorance, because drag performers have performed for seniors for many years.

The earth wasn't designed for us. The sun causes cancer, "acts of God" kill millions annually, and you could die sleeping outside in winter.

A little-known fact about me is that I have a black belt in taekwondo. An even lesser-known fact is that my competitions have NEVER been segregated by sex or gender or even age. The girls and women spar with boys and men of the same rank, and they have no issues. So.. maybe stop hating trans people?

There is a common false belief floating around that the United States Constitution actually mentions “God” or Jesus. Let me be clear about this: there isn’t one single reference to any deities in the body of the Constitution, and the only mention of religion is restricting it in government

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I oppose the death penalty. Killing killers doesn't deter crime— and it's also surprisingly expensive.

The concept of worship is unnecessary... but if I had to choose a "deity" to praise, I'd go back to our first gods: water, fire, air, earth.

Dear conspiracy theorists: it is NOT SURPRISING that Jeffrey Epstein killed himself.

Here’s why:

• He was a coward who didn’t want to face the consequences of his actions.

• He was caught trying to commit suicide weeks before his death, so it’s not really a stretch.

• Again HE WAS A COWARD.

Christian: "I fucking DARE you to insult Islam! Yeah, I thought not."

Me: "Hey Islam, you're ugly and your mother dresses you funny."

When it comes to religion in schools, it's incredibly simple: you are allowed to teach facts about religion, but not religions as though they are facts.

Educators can teach kids about the different belief systems and their origins, but you can't tell kids that the stories are unquestionably true.

Not bad advice!

This conspiracy theory troll called me a coward, and then instantly blocked me so I couldn’t reply. 😂

Today I was told I’m going to Hell because of my unbaptism certificates, so I’ve decided… to keep selling them! Get your baptism reversed at the URL in the screenshot. ❤️

• “I’m well-educated.”
• “I’m tolerant.”
• “I’m open-minded.”
• “I have a high IQ.”
• “I’m not racist.”
• “I respect women.”
• “I’m a good person.”
• “I’m a big deal.”

These are all statements that, if they are true, should be shown and not just said.

‘Murica!

I just wish they wouldn’t shove it in our faces.

Well shit.

Touché.

Brian here thinks writing children's books about religion is "harassment," so I'm going to offer discounts on signed copies of The Belief Book, the Book of Gods, and The Book of Religions to anybody who messages me with the name "BRIAN." DM me with that discount code for details on the signed copies

Since this is the best advertisement possible for Atheist Answers, I’m offering the first four people who message me a discount on a signed copy. DM me with the word “GARBAGE” and I’ll send you the details on that. I appreciate you all! ❤️

This is like a piece of art! 🧑‍🍳😘

Anything can be a conspiracy theory if you’re stupid enough.

It’s so funny to me when those who didn’t get vaccinated, didn’t socially distance, and didn’t observe any masking policies during COVID now say, “None of that worked!”

Maybe it’s because you and a bunch of other idiots didn’t take it seriously? Just a guess. 😂😂😂

It’s so funny to me that some people believe you either have to be a rabid conspiracy theorist believing whatever nonsense you hear or see on YouTube, or you have to be a government bootlicker. I am neither, and I never will be.
