"Ghosts and supernatural beings - There's no proof that these exist and attempt to prove it either fail or turn out to be hoaxes.   Aliens - Maybe. I don't believe that they come here and make crop circles or mutilate livestock but…"

I need information about religion during slavery

I'm not sure if anyone has done this yet but I want to make a documentary about how religion was "introduced" to black slaves. Unfortunately all I know is what I've seen in movies (which I don't like looking at). I feel like I need more info than that. So are there any videos, articles, books etc. that you guys can recommend to help me out?

Robert P replied to Sentient Biped's discussion Woman attempts to murder daughters to save them from apocalypse in the group Atheist News
"This is horrible. How come I haven't heard about this until now? This should be on every news anchor's lips for days. I guess attempted murder is fine as long as you did it for god."

Robert P replied to Dave Niose's discussion Should we object when politicians use religious rhetoric
"Let's be honest here. The reason that most of us don't want to say anything is because the side that would stand for our rights to not believe in god also have faith so we don't want to tick them off in the progress."
