Atheists launch grassroots campaign to get unbelievers to `come out’

SO INCREDIBLY PROUD!!! My amazing wife, Amanda Brown, just had a story published about her and our WeAreAtheism.com campaign in Religion News Service. The Washington Post and several other major papers have already picked up on it... I'm sure more will soon.

 

We encourage you all to take part. Get your local groups to have a "SHOOT YOUR VIDEO NIGHT"!

 

STAND UP. Speak Out. Be Counted!

You american Atheists have it worse over there I think. In the UK, most christians are just the dusty old church goers and most are happy to live and let live. You guys seem to have a dangerous infestation of faith healers both deluded and con-artists.
I wish you all the luck in the world, hopefully we'll get an Atheist political party here soon too.

ADAM, you have sent a wonderful reply to my discussion on 'Whither Atheism'. I was delighted by  your words 'We are winning". I once again offer my best wishes to the success of you and your atheist friends in their struggle against the American believers. Remind them that Christianity also suffered persecution and won in the end. Now it is the turn of atheists to win. Christianity offered a better belief system compared to the Greek-Roman pagan religion and so it won. Today atheism is offering a much better and rational belief and, without any doubt, it is going to win. The Christians are irrational and in the end, they are going to loose. Adam, please convey my greetings to your adorble wife.

MADHUKAR KULKARNI.

Thank you for the kind words... we have partnered with Atheist Nexus and Richard Dawkins Foundation. With help, we will be at the Reason Rally in DC next year. David Silverman, president of American Atheists, supports us and said we could speak on stage there. Look for big things next year from both our sites (AtheismResource.com is the other).

This is wonderful.  Thank you for speaking- out and being brave.  I'm so tired of religious people just talking about 'god' as if it's a fact and not expecting anyone to disagree with them.  I say what I can when I can, but sometimes it seems like there are just so damn MANY of them!!!  I am going to start speaking-up more.  I owe it to the rest of the Atheists out there.  Thanks!!!

i've got no problem with everyone saying "merry christmas" on christmas day.  however, they've turned it into an entire holiday season where it lasts a month or more.  in those situations it should be perfectly acceptable to say "happy holidays" or call it a…

My first funeral as an atheist

Posted by Two Cult Survivor on May 21, 2013 at 11:30am 0 Comments

I posted the bulk of this on another thread, but wanted to add some context separately.

I finally confronted my faith and embraced the fact of my atheism late last August, 2012. Days after I revealed my "epiphany" to a few friends who knew me from another message board, my sister died from Lou Gehrig's Disease (which pissed her off because she hated catching a disease from someone she never f---ed).

THAT was my sister, understand? She was a beautiful, life-loving, potty-mouthed…

Death of a family member

Posted by Larry Taylor on May 20, 2013 at 8:15pm 10 Comments

OK. I am venting. My mother died two weeks ago. She was a “god fearing christian.” Before her death she refused all medical treatment. She wanted to be left alone. She even refused to speak with my brother who is a methodist minister. He is a pip, let me tell you! I suspect she did not believe, but a woman born in her time could not and did not state her actual beliefs. This is the opening salvo to all christians; FUCK YOU! I had so many people come and tell…

Unbelievable!!!!!!!!

Posted by Christy Stewart on May 20, 2013 at 2:17pm 6 Comments

This probably should not have shocked me as much as it did (especially since I am in Texas). I actually thought my coworkers were playing a joke on me because they know I am an atheist. Sadly, this was no joke. This actually happened.

I work in a psychiatric hospital. The doctors who admit patients are general MDs. (Psychiatrists see patients after admission) Yesterday evening we received several calls from irate parents. A new doctor who was doing admissions yesterday actually…
