I am an atheist blogger living in the heart of the American bible belt, Mississippi to be exact. I believe that improving the social and political position of atheists is a worthy goal, and I am happy to be involved.
My blog, Atheist Revolution, focuses on breaking free from irrational belief and opposing Christian extremism in America. Content emphasizes promoting the atheist movement (i.e., atheism, reason, science, critical thinking, etc.) and exposing the realities of Christian extremism in the United States. In addition, I regularly address progressive politics and offer tips to atheist bloggers for increasing traffic to their blogs.
Love your sticker... I've had the plaque on my front door for years. doesn't always stop them from knocking. I knew they were not well educated but figured they could read pictures.
I don't think I've met another atheist at my school yet (of course, I'm sure some of them are closeted), though I've heard of some (phrasing it like that makes it seem like we are a rare and endangered species...).
I like your blog, Vjack--good work. I can only imagine that to live and teach in Mississippi, the most religious state in the country by one recent measure, must be a great challenge for you. I know I couldn't do it.
You write about offering some form of haven to atheist students on your campus. I wonder whether it might be possible to organize a secular humanist champlaincy that might complement the religious organizations that no doubt have representation on your campus. The only one I know of is Greg Epstein's, at Harvard--but his work there is encouraging. He might be a resource for you.
My daughter, who is a sophomore at Yale, has made some headway there in moving toward organizing a university-sponsored (and -funded) organization, but the freethinking community on college campuses tends to be fragmented among many informal organizations. I can be difficult to bring them together. They need a champion in the administration...
I just joined the photography group and noticed that you are in it too. I would love to see some of your art work. I have loads of mine up on my profile.
Hey Vjack. I love Atheist Revolution! I have been reading it (dare is say religiously...) for a long time. I think that you do an amazing job of presenting your opinions in a way that seems valid. A lot of atheist material that I read comes across like they are doing it just to disagree with the theistic viewpoint. It's just packed with jabs at religion but lacking a clear understanding of the points that they are trying to make. When I stumbled upon Atheist Rev, it was like a dream come true. Keep it up!
Atheists won all three prizes from Eric Hovind's Creation Minute website! PZ Myers won 1st place, and I won 2nd place. In 3rd was atheist Kirby Hobley. As soon as I receive the iPod Shuffle, I will put it on eBay and link to it here.

No need to prove any of these dictators as not being an athiest. Just tell them that branding dictators as athiest is a "natural tendency among humans to combine two of their dislikings". We don't have any time or energies to prove every thing hat...
But I also want them capable of taking care of themselves as well.
If you take away reproductive choice, that could impact on their abilities to take care of themselves!

I didn't find this out until just now, but a couple of weeks ago, Congress passed a bill that outlaws clove cigarettes and all other flavored tobacco products. It goes into effect in less than three months.
