Our Mission: To do good works in our local community by providing volunteer activities and programs hosted by the nontheist community.
The cosponsored AAI-Danish Atheist Society convention/conference will be in June, although the exact dates aren't finalized at this point. Australia is the next stop on the AAI world tour, and I hope I can make it.
Ban this Phrase: Not Available in All States

Atheist Alliance International (AAI) is an organization of independent religion-free groups and individuals in the United States and around the world.

Trying to spread the word and get noticed every day Tom. I hope more of us pick up the banner.
I find the whole "bless you" or "god bless you" thing so amusing. The origin of saying it was in early medieval times when it was fact that when you sneezed you were open to being possessed by the devil or his demon minions, and by saying "god ble...

Not Available in All States
Ban this Phrase: Not Available in All States
With apologies to Billy Mays, why do advertisers and marketers use the phrase “Not Available in All States”? This phrase, submitted by a reader, has the total opposite meaning than what it should have and has to be one of the stupidest phrases devised by marketers and businesses, and no doubt lawyers as well, since all the states became the United States.
Now wait! Before this article is over, YOU WILL WANT TO KNOW what to do about this! SO STAY TUN… Continue

Stand Up & Be Heard!
Darwin 09. Darwin 200. The Evolution Revolution. The Year of Evolution. Or, as AAI President Stuart Bechman calls it, The Year of The Darwin. Whatever you call it, 2009 is a big year for atheism. You could say it’s our coming out party. Two hundred years ago this February 12th the man called Charles Robert Darwin was born, and fifty years later—one hundred fifty years our past—he would publish a work so monumental, and with the evidence to back it up, that the world would never be the sam… Continue

A Christian May Be Atheists’ Best Friend
January 20, 2009. Like many people in America, if not most of them, and along with people around the world, I watched as Barack Obama was sworn in as the 44th President of the United States. Yes, he did add “so help me God” at the end of Chief Justice Roberts’ fumbled prodding, but he made up for this just a few minutes later. Listening to his inauguration speech as I was writing, did I heard him say “and nonbelievers”?

Bryan said… - Now that's funny. I have the pleasure of having an older step-brother named Brian. It was only a matter of weeks after Dad started dating his mother before one of us lost our birth names forever; everyone now calls him "Bub." (But the four of us know who our parents are referring to no matter which name they use.)
You quite welcome and it's an honor to have you here. Enjoy the convention!

Lorien said… - Welcome as well. Coming out is difficult. I just put two stickers on my car so now I am visibly out in my town! Scary since I still fear theist vandalism but if it brings more out in the open, it may be worth the risk.
Nice property!

Welcome to Atheist Nexus with its 8400+ good friends.
Perhaps, too, try joining groups like the busy group “ORIGINS: Universe, Life, Humans, Evolution, Religion.....”.
I have been running a discussion there (72 posts) about being "Proud to be Atheist" because we should all be inwardly proud (and those who can, outwardly loudly proud), seeing that atheists and humanists hold the intellectual high ground over the superstitious god grovellers enslaved by the fictions of narrow-minded clergy who control their brains and lives.

my sister has my bible that I used when I was still a church-goer. It's a nice KJV with gold trim and archeological information and thematic indexes. I get that coppery blood taste in my mouth just thinking about all the crap I let myself consider...
Put them in a blender for a delicious Bible smoothie.
I found that Jared Diamond's book made some sense, but was flawed in many aspects. Richard Lynn and Tatu Vahanen utterly trashes his thesis in their book "IQ and the Wealth of Nations". Diamond's theories do not account for the fact that the Ameri...
Exactly! This is a map of "good schools" and in no way reflects potential in races or individuals.
Extremely amusing.
I have argued about a similar issue before. Omnipotence is not possible in reality, and free will isn't possible if there is an omnipotent being. All we need to do is finding just one example of task that isn't possible to perform for anyone in re...
I have all my books about philosophy and religion in the cabinet above my computer desk, but they aren't organized in any particular fashion.
People are already immoral. Religion just gives us warrant to let loose.
Not at all. I was not referring to anything you or her said specifically. Some of those things were clearly wrong. A few of them were just stupid, or attempting to get a negative response.
The ones that were specifically derogatory should have bee...
