While America didn't make it into the 9 countries that are slowly losing their religion, you can rejoice at the knowledge church foreclosures are on the rise. Times have been hard for everyone, and when push came to shove, people chose to keep their money rather than to give it to purveyors of nonsense: Religious denominations of all kinds have suffered in recent years as donations have declined, with many ...

Makes you think, doesn't it? I think one of the advantages of atheism is we share so many different values. There really is a huge diversity of political beliefs, and it's my hope we can continue to maintain an open mind. Of course, I disagree with him strongly on the Dalai Lama's moral humility, but that's a discussion for another time. ...

"It doesn't matter what I think; it matters what the Bible says". Well, I certainly agree with the first statement, that's for sure. The latter, I'm not so sure. Hey, is it possible she's wearing clothes of two different fabrics? She said she has a daughter; does she realize the Bible gives specific instructions on how to sell her into slavery? Stop picking and choosing the parts of the Bible that suits you ...

Ah yes, the famous Rapture is upon us! Repent, dear sinners, for the Lord Jesus will kill his most beloved creation with a sword that jets out of his mouth. Here are some thoughtless idiots who believe in 2 months the world is going to end, and they'll be teleported up into the clouds. I've got to wonder if any enterprising atheists have been asking them to "put their money where their mouths are"... I mean ...

Since numerous studies have found a number of industrialized nations have a steadily declining rate of religious affiliation, a team at the University of Arizona made a model predicting the rate in which 9 countries will effectively have no more religion. The team took census data stretching back as far as a century from countries in which the census queried religious affiliation: Australia, Austria, Canada ...

With no more problems plaguing America, politicians have decided that making the motto "In God We Trust" emblazoned in every public school is the best use of their time. Forget about trying to stem the tide of ignorance and the degradation of their educational system: everything will be fixed once we please this creator God by telling him we trust him. The agenda for the House of Representatives contains a ...

This week, Ryan joins me as we talk about the joys of swearing, how the Spanish Catholic Church stole babies, and we make fun of al Qaeda's new "women's magazine" al-Shamika. Don't miss out! ...

If I was a pedophile, I'd make sure to seek employment from the Vatican. I mean, how many institutions react to you raping a child with such leniency? Even when you get caught with your pants down, the worst you can expect is a slap on the wrist and a nice vacation in their pathetic "rehabilitation" centers (which is nothing more than a glorified retreat). Take Father Fons Eppink, a Dutch bishop who served ...

Some of you might recall the recent campaign in the UK encouraging people to mark "non-religious" on census surveys, and while the effort had positive results, there are still Britons who check-mark the religion they were born into. Cognizant of that fact, a recent survey conducted by the British Humanist Association asked respondents two different questions designed to identify the percentage of people who ...

Religions claim not to be the enemy of science, but the history of all faiths is a testimony to just how antithetical they are to progress. Neil, school these religionists please! ...
