Atheist Revolution
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.

Very cool news. I'm still hoping to see more of this in Mississippi one of these days, but until then, I'll just have to live vicariously through you. Best of luck with the new group.

Chrys Stevenson said… - Hi vjack! As well as hosting the Aussie/Kiwi group here on Nexus I'm also the media and communications consultant for the forthcoming "Rise of Atheism" Global Atheist Convention to be held in Melbourne in March 2010. The Convention is being organized jointly by Atheist Alliance International and the Atheist Foundation of Australia.
I wonder if you could let your members know that tickets for the convention are now available online at the Convention website. We are expecting nearly 3,000 delegates, so this convention is going to be huge.
Confirmed speakers include: Richard Dawkins, AC Grayling, PZ Myers, Dan Barker, Peter Singer, Taslima Nasrin and many more.
Anything you can do to help us get the word out would be greatly appreciated.

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...).

Don said… - 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...
Best,
Don

People who are excommunicated never should have communicated in the first place and they are better off outside of the catholic cult.
I don't see how she could when she gets older and realizes her rapist wasn't punished by them, but the doctor who helped her was. That's going to create dissonance.
I don't think what you said was racist. The person you mentioned was racist, it's condescending to have a double standard toward reverse racists. Some groups (I'm thinking of religions more than races) want to overbreed in hope of dominating by shee…
Indeed. Speaking up over the large and the small illustrate how pervasive discrimination is. I would raise hell over any type of discrimination based on my lack of religion.
In recent years in Quebec we've gone through a 'new' tolerance phase (as opposed to our old "intolerance" stance on language and French culture). It got dubbed:
Les "accommodements raisonnables" or les "accommodements religieux"
This was a politica…
Hey, the rest of those are up to debate, but the world will definitely be a better place without religion. If anything people can start being honest with themselves! Hate those different from you? Instead of justifying with religious creed just come…
That movie was great...and so prophetic.
One more reason not to have kids: do I want my poor kid to be surrounded by idiots?!
Yeap, sounds like bible reading and lots and lots of prayers. I'm a very practical person. If you don't feel confortable about it, just don't go. It is terrible to be in a place where you don't feel confortable and it is worst to be among people you…
