Fast approaching year 14 billion of the universe not producing any hint of anything supernatural existing.

"But invisibility won’t garner acceptance, it only prevents any possible counter-narrative to bias." Atheists are the best chance to defeat theocracy, and being open about their atheism is their most powerful tool. Truth always eventually wins.

Christianity has eaten the country.

Be unapologetic about being secular. That's the only weapon against theocracy there is.

Good morning to be an atheist and have truth on your side.

The current president of the United States is also the most famous religious satirist in history.

Most of this document is a full-on assault on reproductive freedom but it is very, very difficult not to read this as a signal that groups that want to teach about how trans people aren't real and women exist for procreation will not only be eligible for funding, but given preferential treatment.

The biggest danger with belief in the supernatural is that it is unpredictable. If someone follows voices that no one else hears, and believes in an authority more important than the wellbeing of other people, they can be driven to do any sort of evil, no matter how good of a person they may be.

Does anyone remember a time when the Establishment Clause was in effect? Was it ever, or was that just a story our teachers told us?

American Protestantism is really something else. The Pope is like “God doesn’t want us to invoke his name when we kill people” and Franklin Graham is like “God loves it when our powerful leaders hulk smash the evildoers you woke fool.”

Hmm. Why don't we ask Jesus? Oh that's right....

Yes, as atheists, we have to call it Bad Friday.

Happy Good Friday!

#Atheists don't acknowledge heaven, of course. But they also do not acknowledge the possibility of any utopia on Earth. That is just as much of a religious fantasy as any afterlife. To live in truth, which atheists must do, is to recognize there is only a constant struggle against suffering.

Reposting just for fun.

If anything can be said to be sacred to the atheist community, it is the freedom of expression. Happy #Trans Day of Visibility. It has been a tough several years, but we like to think that, instead, these are the toughest years we will ever have. Truth and justice always win.

Notable to repost on a day when the Supreme Court degrades what little is left of the establishment clause.

Good rule for interfaith partnerships: Atheists should welcome partnerships with faith groups. But only after explicit agreement that those faiths don't believe faith is required to be good, or to avoid punishment after death. That bridge is impossible to cross.

Rep. Val Hoyle (OR-04) has joined the Congressional Freethought Caucus! Thank you, @repvalhoyle.bsky.social.

Listening to "The Violent Take It By Force" by @matthewdtaylor.bsky.social . Prepare to hear more about this from me in my upcoming episode of "These Troubled Times," where I'll be connecting the dots between the John Knox & the Scottish Reformation and January 6th. www.audible.com/pd/B0DGZLGN9...

This is always where belief in an afterlife will lead. #atheism

Atheism is the only path to liberation. All it means is to take nothing for granted. That's all. "To live without appeal."

No Blood For Oil vs. Exactly How Much Oil Are We Talking About?

There is no fate that cannot be surmounted by scorn.

The struggle is enough to fill one's heart.

Worrying proportion of Americans still think being gay is ‘morally wrong’ www.thepinknews.com/... #transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA

DON'T PANIC. And always carry a towel. Today, we're celebrating the life of the humanist and author Douglas Adams, born #onthisday 1952. He is sorely missed, but his books remain some of the funniest and most imaginative explorations of the absurdity of life, the universe, and everything.

It's so confusing sometimes to be a squirrel....

"Christianity, to be sure, comes in both liberationist and authoritarian interpretations, but it is anti-pluralist by default." We will not achieve dunctional democracy unless we face this fact. My latest for @theflytrapmedia.com www.theflytrapmedia.com/how-the-reli...

If you are frustrated by the lack of non-religious leaders in the world, the best thing you can do to change that is to be open about your atheism. The second best thing is join a secular group, in person. The greatest friend to theocracy is a lack of shared identity among the non-religious.

Who says an atheist doesn’t believe⁉️

The physical impossibility of trusting in anything for which there is no evidence.

#Atheism 's only war is against human suffering. Whatever is happening right now, it is the religious, not the non-religious, that are responsible and only them who can end it.

#ReligionHarms: Christianity, particularly fundamentalism, is the basis for much #misogyny. Women still cannot become Catholic priests. #religion #humanism #freethought #atheism #womenshistorymonth

More non-religious people in entertainment, please.

“[Framing] homelessness as a problem of mental illness or addiction has been politically manufactured to divert attention from its *actual* causes—skyrocketing rents, poverty wages, gutted social supports—& to justify the removal of homeless people from public space.” — @brian-goldstone.bsky.social

Seeing it debated whether the military is actively rooting for Armageddon or simply led by Christian nationalists who think they are fighting on God's side. Doesn't seem to be a meaningful distinction for the atheists along for the ride.

I wrote 2 books that lay out all that this implies: American Idolatry and Taking America Back for God In short, this country was founded for and remains the sole province of these men (straight, white, able-bodied, Protestant, natural born citizen) and their women and children.

It implies there is an awful lot of reason for solidarity specifically in secularism among secular Americans.

One of the biggest lies silicon valley figures and their friends have told is that they are atheists. This is spot on.

You are worthy of love.

#atheists are exceptional in their commitment to peace, because they recognize more than anyone else the value of life, and can oppose violence, death, and war more than anyone who believes in the afterlife is able to oppose those things.

NEW: During his reelection campaign last fall, Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller said you can’t “arrest your way” out of homelessness. But a ProPublica analysis found that under Keller, the city has increasingly jailed homeless people.
