Every year, the Religious Right pushes "Pulpit Freedom Sunday". They encourage pastors to endorse candidates from the pulpit. This sort of electioneering violates the IRS 501(c)(3) code, and should result in revocation of tax-exempt status. http://www.change.org/petitions/the-president-of-the-united-states-revoke-tax-exempt-status-of-political-churches

Being an atheist is causing a good man to fight for custody of his daughter

Jordan Clipston, had been denied the right to see his daughter, that his being an atheist had (through unfortunate events) led his ex to attempt to take his right to see his daughter away from him, that all rights to his daughter would be taken, and that little Ariel would be adopted by her mother’s new husband.…

Prof. Boghossian argues some of the most intelligent, clear, and simple reasons behind the problems of faith. I wanted to share this with you because I thought you would enjoy hearing someone make a concise and intellectual argument about what a professor should bring to a classroom discussion, and what should be left out of what he calls "the adult's table."…

1. Stupidity - no need to clarify this point, it's self-explanatory, there is a large segment of the world population that will never "get" science, or secularism, or progress because they don't have the IQ necessary to do…

Until 1956, "E Pluribus Unum," Latin for "Out of Many, One," was considered the de facto motto of the United States of America, representing both the unity and diversity that define America. In 1956, the United States adopted a different motto, "In God We Trust." This motto, instead of emphasizing the unity of this country, has served to divide us between believers and nonbelievers.
