Launching a new service for Atheists
As many of you know, Atheists are the one of the fastest growing groups in the world. In the US, atheists are the second largest 'religious' group! Worlwide, atheists are the third largest!
Yet if you're an atheist looking to get involved in helping the world move beyond religion and pseudoscience, it can be hard to know where to begin! There are secular groups scattered everywhere.
What if there was one website for getting involved in the cause?
Cue SecularAction.org. This site will collect all of the ways you can get involved: Teach a class on science. Donate to a cause. Meet other atheists. Volunteer. The list goes on!
The beta site is live now: www.SecularAction.org. The next version (with concrete actions you can take) is slated for May. If you'd like to get involved, please contact me at michael.trollan@secularaction.org. We'll need help maintaining the events list, updating the PHP and Wordpress, spreading the word, and much more.

Good idea. Looks like this will be a good site. It would be good if you can add an About Us page.
Here's an idea... If you could somehow get a map that collects all of the local events (speaker events, conventions, the thousands of atheist/humanist/freethinker meetup groups, ...), that would be pretty amazing.

Great feedback!
I'll whip up an About Us page. I was focused on getting my video complete to put at the top of the about page, but why wait? I'll put something up in the meantime!
I had been ruminating on how to present the thousands of local events on a map, while still incorporating the dates of the events in a meaningful way. I believe I've finally solved it. I'm working on a mockup of the solution right now. I'm glad to hear that you also think this would be useful!

At a local meetup of atheist community of san jose (http://www.meetup.com/Atheist-Community-of-San-Jose/), the leader mentioned the need for a site listing all the events (meetups, conferences, etc.), and I pointed him to this.
The site's looking good. Keep it up.

Rock on! No one else has collected all of these in one place. I have the major events listed already (http://www.secularaction.org/events), and have local groups coming a bit later this year too.
Just finished the design for version 2.0, which launches next month. Very excited about it. Who was the person who mentioned it in the meeting? I'd like to reach out to him to see how the site can serve his needs as it develops.

Death of a family member

OK. I am venting. My mother died two weeks ago. She was a “god fearing christian.” Before her death she refused all medical treatment. She wanted to be left alone. She even refused to speak with my brother who is a methodist minister. He is a pip, let me tell you! I suspect she did not believe, but a woman born in her time could not and did not state her actual beliefs. This is the opening salvo to all christians; FUCK YOU! I had so many people come and tell…

This probably should not have shocked me as much as it did (especially since I am in Texas). I actually thought my coworkers were playing a joke on me because they know I am an atheist. Sadly, this was no joke. This actually happened.
I work in a psychiatric hospital. The doctors who admit patients are general MDs. (Psychiatrists see patients after admission) Yesterday evening we received several calls from irate parents. A new doctor who was doing admissions yesterday actually…

What do you think of this,
Nathan Young,
No Jason Torpy it is you that should be banned for promoting atheism, a belief that has no foundation in reality and zero proof behind it. The letter was a mockery of your atheist beliefs. I request to the board here that they remove Jason for his unverifiable beliefs in atheism for which he has no proof other than his arrogance. The letter was a mockery of atheism. Atheism is stupid and it should be mocked and it…
