Praying in the wrong direction
Indonesian Muslims are being told to adjust their prayer antennae to improve transmissions to Mecca: Indonesian Muslims have been praying in the wrong direction, the country’s highest Islamic authority has said. The Indonesian Ulema Council told the country’s Muslim populace in March to turn west when they offered their daily prayers. Muslims are supposed to face the [...]

The UNCG Atheists/Agnostics/Skeptics are still fighting the good fight and trying to get the city council of Greensboro to remove their official prayer curing meetings. These are the same guys that flew me down to do my first lecture entitled “Holy Shit I’m an Ape“. Nice job fighting the power Phil! Keep it up.

Friday, June 4, 2010
Another teacher has been fired from her job as a math teacher at a Catholic school after being outed as an atheist. What makes this story interesting is how they found out about her lack of faith: Abby Nurre said she was called into the principal’s office just before winter break and asked about Atheist Nexus, [...]

Wednesday, May 19, 2010
It seems as though the concept of the separation of church and state, made abundantly clear by the Establishment Clause of the constitution, is still something that some Christians just can’t seem to wrap their head around. The latest bonehead is Mayor Bill Knight of the city of Greensboro, North Carolina. If that city sounds [...]

Monday, May 10, 2010
I like how the host basically asks: with all the trouble in the world, why do you want to take people’s ability to have a special prayer day?”. How mature are these morons? Does he really think that folks will be banned from doing their useless prayers? All that we want is for the government [...]

Tuesday, May 4, 2010
You all know I have a special disdain for homophobic Christians who go around trying to tell everyone that homosexuality is a sin. What I have more disdain for, however, is any government that grants police the power to arrest people simply for saying shit they don’t agree with. Take the Public Order Act in [...]

The New York Times has a profile on the Freedom From Religion Foundation, the atheist group that tackles all sorts of thorny issues related to Church / State separation in the US. This is beyond the standard front lines of atheism … this is big ball stuff that takes on the American government at all [...]

Saturday, April 24, 2010
Remember Harry Taylor, the British man who was tried and found guilty of ‘religiously aggravated harassment’ for leaving some flyers making fun of religion in the prayer room at an airport? He was just sentenced today and got an Anti-Social Behavior Order along with a six month suspended sentence. The ABSO – a creepy little [...]

Thursday, April 22, 2010
If you ever wondered why some of your friends or family members seem to lack a certain degree of skepticism concerning their own beliefs, you might be interested in a study conducted by the Aarhus University of Denmark. Using magnetic resonance imaging, they studied 20 Pentecostals and found that when they listened to prayers recited [...]

Saturday, April 17, 2010
So, according to Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council (you might remember these guys endorsing the murder of Dr. George Tiller) , a judge upholding the constitution’s first Amendment is not only activism, but also judicial arrogance. I think the only arrogance being displayed here is by cry-baby religious folks who can’t stand whenever [...]
