Putting a New Atheist Talking Point to the Test
We are often told that the world would be a vastly better place if only we could get rid of religion, as religion is supposed to be responsible for all kinds of miseries and harm (as AC Grayling just insisted). … Continue reading
AC Grayling’s “Take Down”
Let’s have a look at AC Grayling’s supposed “take down” of Frans de Waal. Now, I must be a fool for trying to respond to something AC Grayling wrote. For he is a philosopher who founded and became the first … Continue reading
Trying to Deport Those “Criminals”
From here: The Obama administration is arguing in federal court that a homeschooling family from Germany should be deported back to their homeland, despite what they say is religious persecution. The German government prevented Uwe and Hannelore Romeike from teaching … Continue reading

Big Money Pushing Militant Atheism
Anytime you are in an argument with New Atheists or there is a discussion about New Atheism around the workplace or at a gathering, you should make sure that people understand New Atheism is a movement. It is not a … Continue reading
More Evidence that Dawkins is not Sincere
Recently, I was able to clearly show that Richard Dawkins is not sincere when he insists that it is crucial we root our beliefs in the evidence. I document this insincerity here and here. Basically, Dawkins has been peddling this … Continue reading
An Atheist Defines Militant Atheism
Julian Baggini is an author and atheist philosopher who helps us to better define and detect militant atheists. In his book, Atheism, he has a section entitled Militant Atheism. He writes: Atheism which is actively hostile to religion I would … Continue reading
