Isn't it nice to know no one has the monopoly on racism, bigotry, and intolerance? All of this is brought to you by the divisive powers of religion! Act now, and you too can benefit from not having an open mind, and needlessly hating on other minorities simply because their beliefs aren't exactly the same as yours. Order religion today! ...

Perhaps it can be said at one particular time (although I'm unaware of exactly when), religion offered a way for individuals to feel some degree of community with others who did not share any direct family lineage. Whatever advantage religion conferred to our ancient ancestors, the inevitable tendency for religionists to favor only those with precisely the same belief as them has fostered some of the most g ...

I guess once you surrender your mind to the corrosive influence of religion, your grip with sanity is bound to slip eventually. How else can you explain his insane comment that Haiti signed a pact with the devil to gain their independence from the white man? Does he believe everything the little voice in his head tells him? Pat, you need to take medicine for the kind of mental illness you're obviously suffe ...

Remember the video I put up with Stephen Fry and Christopher Hitchens debating about whether or not the Catholic Church is a force for good? In one part of the video, a well meaning woman stood up and commented on the fact that she was a Catholic and didn't really have any issue with Fry's homosexuality. Stephen responded by saying that the position of the Catholic Church regarding homosexuality is clear, a ...

How many killers have proudly flaunted the fact that their crimes were the result of their religious convictions? It's honestly too numerous to count, but every time such a tragedy occurs, you don't see anyone blaming Martin Luther, Joseph Smith, or other religious leaders. That doesn't stop some shitty writers, who have a clear interest in attacking evolution, from blaming everything they can on Charles Da ...

Guess what? If you think President Obama wasn't born in America and isn't really your president, then you have the honor of being part of a distinct group of individuals that is likely to never have left the US (or own a passport), to be less educated, to watch more TV, and to read fewer books than non-birthers. Basically, you are an idiot. Hey, it's not like we should be very surprised people who identify ...

I was reading an old article on BBCnews about a Jewish school that was refusing admission to students who had no blood relation to Judaism. The school was trying to defend their stance, arguing that this was a matter of religion, not race. I don't buy that bullshit for one second. Consider this: a few months ago, the Israeli government created a series of ads warning Jews not to marry non-Jews after a study ...

I feel like this painting is like one of those hilarious "spot the fallacy" kind of games, so I thought it might be fun to try and point out as many hilarious flaws present in this shitty painting. Feel free to add to the list in the comments: #1. Jesus did not invent the Constitution. It's no small irony that most of the Founding Fathers were deists. #2. Supreme Court Judges are apparently crybabies. #3. T ...

I find it strange that Christians believe their religion gives them moral superiority over others. In their deluded minds, they believe the Bible and the teachings of Jesus Christ are the foundations of our modern (ethical) society. Never mind the fact the same book was used to justify all kinds of atrocities, from genocides to slavery; that was ages ago! Those people weren't real Christians, and there's no ...

Ok, the title of my article is a little inflamatory, but how else can you describe a consentrated effort on the part of the Illinois Family Institute to get Friendly Atheist Hemant Mehta fired from his job as a high school math teacher? Sounds like an attack to me. IFL director Laurie Higgins is on a crusade to get the school faculty to punish him for writing an atheist blog on his free time, even though it ...
