Why are tax breaks given to the religious? Seriously, I'm really asking...

I have a basic understanding of the separation of church and state, and I am a huge advocate.  It's why I joined ffrf.  I think people should be free to be religious or not.  I get why church/state…Continue

I wanted to discuss the anti-rational aspects of Christianity.  Why haven't fundamentalists and creationists gone away in modern society?  I am always amazed and discouraged by the amount of people…Continue

This Saturday is the Adopt-A-Highway clean up for the Atheist Community of Milwaukee. We need volunteers.  Please consider donate a few hours of your time.  This is a really positive thing to do for the community and great exposure for atheists.  Please follow this link for more information.Adopt A Highway

Hi, everyone! Just thought I'd introduce myself. I haven't actually been to any meetings or anything, but hopefully I'll be there on Sunday (does anyone know how long it usually goes? I might have to work in the afternoon). Pleasure to meet you all :)

Except you, Eric :P

Hi Angela. I know what you mean. It seems that you still need to find the actual comment by searching the wall.

I've reposted the link to the Reason Rally photos below:

Can someone help me navigate this group?  I get email notifications, and I received one shortly after the Reason Rally that told me Mark had posted pix from the rally, but when I click on the link in my email that suposedly leads me to the pix, it just brings me to this main SWiFT page.  From here, where can I find stuff like this when the email links don't go directly to anything?

I am planning on attending. There was some talk on going as a group, but it didn't really get planned (stupid work taking me away from fun).

Hope to see you!

Here's a link to the Christopher Hitchens Tribute recently shown at the Global Atheist Convention.  It's 11 minutes long and worth every second:
