Why Do You Celebrate Christmas?

It’s that time of year again and like a lot of atheists out there it’s time for us to hear people asking, “why do you celebrate Christmas?” This is often a part of the discussion regarding nativity scenes and overt displays of religion on government owned property and government buildings, but that is not always the case.  Often it’s just a query from a confused Christian or religious person wondering why we celebrate “their holiday”.  Let’s set the record straight right here and now.

I'll Pray For You

I'll pray for you, I'll pray for him or one phrase or another along these lines is one of the most common things we hear coming out of the mouths of believers.  It's not only directed at atheists, although that one is not only annoying but naive as well, but also at their own kind.  So what does this really mean?

Let's Talk about Respect

One of the most thrown out lines that the religious use is “you have to respect my beliefs”, whenever a religious debate is ongoing. But do we really have to respect their religion or are they just as deluded in this belief as they are in everything else regarding their superstitious nonsense?

Banning Gay Marriage Perpetuates the Human Race?

A federal judge in Nevada, Judge Robert Jones, upheld Nevada's ban on same sex Marriage this week. His justification for the ruling? According to RawStory his reasoning is as follows:

..gay men and lesbians did not qualify for protections under the Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause because recent victories in Maine, Maryland, Minnesota and Washington proved that LGBT people did not face the same level of discrimination as other groups did.

Why Must Atheists Fight Christmas Displays?

This post is not going to be about christians, jews or any other religious groups. Today we are going to talk about a subgroup of atheists and why they are wrong to support the religious and their continued abuse of public property to bolster their religious beliefs.

City Official declares Atheists "Terrorists"

Every day when I get up and wonder what I'll have to write about, I worry that sanity and rational thought might hit the right wing in this country and leave a void of topics to write about. Unfortunately, that never really happens.  A supervisor in the Leesburg district of Virginia, Ken Reid, proves once again how insanely stupid and ignorant the right can be regarding their religious holidays, separation of church and state and their hatred of free-thinkers.

The Non-existent War on Christmas

Let's talk about the “War on Christmas”. This war is a myth, plain and simple. There is no war on Christmas; it's a figment of the Christian imagination, much like their deity. This supposed war on Christmas revolves around their belief that secularists and even Christians who only wish to be inclusive of people of other faith and belief systems are somehow infringing their rights by not saying merry Christmas to everyone, calling Christmas trees “holiday trees" and other such nonsense. It's basically another reason for them to whine about how they as Christians, who still represent a majority of the US population, are being oppressed.
