You are so right (gods born of primitive thought), and religion is a fraud. Welcome to this fine atheist site and its thousands of bright people who recognise that gods are nothing but fictions inside the brains of the credulous. Join Atheist Nexus groups and enjoy.

Hi Captain Cook (or may I call you James? Jim seems a tad over-familiar). Hi Sam! Welcome to Atheist Nexus. I'd like to invite you to join our Aussie Kiwi and South Pacific Atheists group.

I also want to make sure you've heard about the Rise of Atheism Global Atheist Convention to be held in Melbourne next March. It's going to be huge! Over 1000 tickets have been sold already. Speakers will include Richard Dawkins, Peter Singer, PZ Myers, Phillip Adams, Robyn Williams and many more.

I hope you will join us in our group - and maybe also join us at the Convention next March.

Enjoy the site!
