Looking for (particular) black atheists to interview

Hello all,

I'm working with a writer who is putting together a big article about black atheists. She's trying to find a few more to interview, including:

- a couple who has met through an atheist online group or website
- someone who no longer talks to his family because he's come out as an atheist
- someone who's only come out online and not in life

If you fit one of the descriptions or know people who have, please get in touch with me at dgoddard@centerforinquiry.net. There's some urgency to this, so please get in touch with me as soon as you can if you're interested and fit one of the categories. Thanks!

 "someone who's only come out online and not in life"
Does this mean that if you were to google me you will find me but none of family, friends or spouse know that I am an Aethist?

If you participate in black atheist groups (like this one) online, but family, friends, spouse don't know that you're an atheist--sounds like you fit the bill! If you want to get interviewed, send me your e-mail address at dgoddard@centerforinquiry.net.

I may fit that bill, I will email u.  I actually do!  Only other agnostic/atheist people know I don't believe in God.  I am a member of an offline atheist group, but none of my friends no I actually attend meetings.  Just one, and he is agnostic but none of my religious friends know.  Even the ones that call themselve kemetic.  'Cause they still believe in this mystical/magical god.

I haven't told my parents but they know for a fact that I don't attend church. nor do I pray. I should clarify that I have gotten snippy once or twice when confronted with a lecture riddled with religious dogma, I just haven't said the words. My brothers have known since I was 14 years old. I don't mask my atheism from anyone else in my life but them, not because i fear their reaction but it's not worth the hassle of them trying to "save" me.

 

Please return and post a link for the article when it's written.

Death of a family member

Posted by Larry Taylor on May 20, 2013 at 8:15pm 5 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!!!!!!!!

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…

anti-atheist rant from an Orthodox Mormon part 2

What do you think of this,

 

Nathan Young,

 

No Jason Torpy it is you that should be banned for promoting atheism, a belief that has no foundation in reality and zero proof behind it.  The letter was a mockery of your atheist beliefs.  I request to the board here that they remove Jason for his unverifiable beliefs in atheism for which he has no proof other than his arrogance.  The letter was a mockery of atheism.  Atheism is stupid and it should be mocked and it…
