| Description: | Atheism isn’t so scary. We’re not all bearded old men calling you nasty names you can’t understand from the comfort of a leather wingback chair while swirling scotch in a glass. Sometimes we’re pleasant young women who like to point out that atheism is nothing more than the lack of a god belief and it makes no sense to vilify those of us who hold this position. I’ll still take that scotch, though. |

Breaking News: The Cuddly Atheist Misses Her Dog
Yeah, people have all kinds of horrid problems, but let’s face it. I’m sexier than they are. Here are some photos of my dog because you care. Reilly says the pope smelled of mothballs and gardenias.

Stop Drop and Roll Won’t Work in Hell
No, I haven’t become a theist. I saw this on a bumper sticker today and was immediately bemused. This has to be close to one of the most offensive Christian bumper stickers I’ve ever seen. It’s like the driver delighted in the idea that non-believers and sinners would burn in an eternal lake of fire. What’s the most offensive religious bumper sticker you’ve ever seen?

Criticism of Religion Under Attack
Source The NGOs, which include Christian, Muslim and Jewish organisations as well as humanist and secular groups from around the world, argue that “unlike traditional defamation laws, which punish false statements of fact that harm individual persons, measures prohibiting the `defamation of religions’ punish the peaceful criticism of ideas”. Really? The peaceful criticism of religion is so dangerous that measures need to be taken against it? At least in this country it is our right to criticize anything we see fit.

Atheist Billboard Comes Down Due to Threats
In Cincinnati, an atheist billboard came down due to serious threats from multiple sources. The billboard which read, ““Don’t Believe In God? You are not alone” came down Thursday morning, according to this news source. It sounds so innocent, doesn’t it? There was nothing offensive about the wording and yet people were outraged enough to demand its removal. It’s sad that we live in a society where something so benign can be construed as being malevolent and harmful. I call bigotry. This makes me want to start a fund to put up a bill

Where do you stand?
Do you think that critical thinking is more important than atheism? Do you believe critical thinking is the root of atheism? I’m interested in hearing your opinions as I’ve seen so many differing ones. Which is fundamentally more important or is it a false dichotomy? I want you to be the judge. View This Pollsurvey
