Help us build a world-class blog
Beginning 01/01/10 with the launch of our full website, the Foundation will host a multi-author invitational blog centered on big issues in philanthropy and humanism.
If you know an atheist/humanist who is already blogging brilliantly about the environment, poverty, peace, child welfare, animal protection, human rights, education, health, and/or general issues in philanthropy, please nominate by adding a link to this thread. We'll invite a few to kick us off in January, then gradually add more voices as we go. Self-nominations gladly accepted!
If for any reason you want the nomination to be discreet, drop me a note here.

This is EXACTLY the approach I'm talking about: Beyond Good Intentions is "an organization committed to uncovering more innovative and effective approaches to international aid worldwide."
I've sent a note to these folks to see if any among them are both atheist/humanist and experienced at blogging.
Anyone else have leads on bloggers for our invitational Foundation blog? We want people who are deeply informed about best practices in philanthropy and can also write engagingly and well.

Thanks Deb! At the moment I'm mostly looking for atheists/humanists with experience writing about the causes (poverty, health, environment, etc), but these are definitely two great sites to keep in mind.

So...
This is no doubt a long shot, but I currently write a column about Apple products at

Its silly and lighthearted by design, but Atheism and Philanthropy are topics i am deeply passionate about. I would loved to be involved in any way- even if that means just reading if my style isnt what your looking for!

Please take a look at Womanist Musings. The writing is frank and clear.

If you're ever looking for something a bit more 'hard-line', my thoughts and writing style can be sampled here.

It is true that many people take the path of religion to lead them out of destructive life styles.
It is also true that people can do the same thing without a reliance on faith (you just don't hear about it as much).
You sound like a very nice you…

I've seen posts about the 50 commandments of jeebus put out by xtians that cite chapter and verse and you really don't need a commentary to go along with them.

From the article Tommy cited.
"However, religious commentators have criticized Hawking's theorizing, saying he can never hope to explain what is essentially unexplainable."
Well doesn't that kind of invalidate their own "god" theory then? ;p
Anybody else read it? I love the basic premise, and being an atheist means I can appreciate the mythology and not get bent out of shape about the multiple deities.
Wyoming is better than the southeast, from what I've seen. It's still a solid red state, though. My big point was that there are no cities. The closest it has are Cheyenne and Casper, each of which are around 50,000 people.
The entire state barely…

I saw a video, or a blog post once that listed all the uncomfortable and illogical things that a person must do, according to Jesus' own words, in order to follow him. The list included hating your family, selling all your possessions, etc. I'm pret…
It's been almost a full day, and none of them have responded. I'm hoping that's the end of it, and they have bowed to my superior sophistry. ;-)
