Every theory and belief should stand up to the light of logic and reason.

Jeffery Jay Lowder weighs in on the court ruling that the Pledge of Allegiance violates the Establishment Clause for including "under God" in it.

A short taste of the long-standing argument between religionists and evolutionists, where it has been, and where it is going. As Edis puts it, "Today, more than a century after Darwin convinced biologists that life had evolved, we still see a raging controversy over creation and evolution. Together with this, we have a large range of ideas about what evolution means for religion."

Cal Thomas's April Fool's Day rant on Atheism is laughably bad, and quite possibly contains more logical fallacies per square inch than any paper in the history of published literature.

Has the Old Testament God of fiery hail and miracles been reduced to a modern God of coincidences?

The United States Supreme Court upholds a non-key provision of the Children's On-Line Protection Act (COPA), but sends it back to lower courts for consideration of other challenges. Meanwhile, the latest censorship attempt by Congress, the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA), was struck down by a special 3-judge trial court. Next stop: the Supreme Court. Still, free speech advocates must worry at this continuous stream of censorship laws, all merely awaiting a change in the current majority favoring continued free speech on the Internet.

Peshawar, Pakistan, there’s no place like it anywhere else, that’s for damned sure. (Short story)

Tired of worshipping a distant God? Try creating God instead.

An open letter to the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) leadership concerning their recent official ban of gays and nonbelievers.

The recent expos ay of Priestly pedophiles debunks yet another of religion's myths. That myth being that religion discourages bad people from doing evil things.

An examination of selected writings and exegeses of five major world religions (Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, and Judaism) shows that they are all inherently misogynic. An analysis of such misogyny reveals several psychological processes underlying it, including psychodynamic, social psychological, and family-therapy oriented ones.

A short story about a team of archaeologists in the future who use time travel technology to visit the crucifixion of Jesus. Their mission: to observe what happens, and to prove – once and for all – whether the Christian religion is true or not.

AU's Lynn Challenges Rep. Ball's Claim That 'Country Runs On Judeo-Christian Ethic That Comes From Bible'

A short story about the issue to put the words "In God We Trust" on the local City Hall. An atheist by the name of Richard takes the initiative.

Mr. Monson received a Christian revisionist tract that is currently making the rounds in Christian news groups and email forwarding databases. It was written anonymously (which should be cause for concern in and of itself) and it seeks as its goal to attack the very foundations of our Constitution by way of a Christian-based revision of history, to include changing the very convictions of our founding fathers, in order to convince the targeted audience (i.e., already believing Christians) that the United States is a "Christian nation," founded by Christians, for Christians!

The authentic secret diaries of Moses were recently found, and they contain shocking revelations.

A treatise on the futility of Atheism versus Theism debates resulting from their contradictory premises and covering limits of human understanding, asking of invalid questions, and the "free will" paradox.

The influence on human thought of the idea of God is so pervasive that hardly any sphere of man's intellectual activity is free from it--so much so that even the scientists who deal with physical facts, their observation and measurement, and their correlation and interpretation are also directly or indirectly affected by it in spite of the fact that their profession, 'science,' has little room for speculation about a supernatural entity.

In the study of religion among primal peoples you find that many believed in "magic". Magic is defined as the belief that supernatural forces can be controlled, influenced and manipulated by executing a ritualistic formula, either physical or verbal. We still, today, in a more fashionable way, utilize superstition, prayer wheels, magic, sacrifices and elaborate doxologies to induce God to favor our requests, grant our wishes and perform miracles upon demand.

The first edition of the Book of the Mormon contained numerous grammatical, spelling, and Punctuation errors, most (but not all) of which were corrected in subsequent editions. The Book contains words that nobody, not even Joseph Smith, can define. It contains theological discrepancies and other errors, including having Jesus born in Jerusalem. It contains blatant anachronisms, including the practice of Christianity before Christ was even born, paraphrased sayings by Jesus by B.C. characters, and reference to the Book of Revelation centuries before it was written.

A nonreligious family copes with the death of the father. What ensues is a secular funeral and a discussion over an atheist's philosophy of death.

Dr. Younas Shaikh was granted an appeal many months ago. Yet still Pakistan leaves him to rot in jail, setting no date for his new trial. Here are excerpts from his recent letter from death row and a plea from his friend to help end this injustice!
