In the contemplative shadow of Christopher Hitchens' intellectual legacy, there stands a multitude of voices, ready to engage with the spirited critiques he presented against religious belief. "Debunking Hitchens: A Christian Response" is not merely a book; it is a comprehensive, systematic Christian response to the sharp arguments laid down by one of the most formidable atheists of our time. The literary and philosophical armoury of Hitchens has...

In the beginning was the word, and...you know the rest. Not like this you don't. In a new twist on a classic tale, Tom Carver re-imagines the Old Testament without the leading character. The Newer, More English Version takes an erudite look at the supporting players of the Pentateuch, with no Jehovah to steal the show. What's left is a varied cast of egomaniacs, revolutionaries, war criminals, genii and perverts: Joseph, smug careerist and part-time...

Children inevitably turn to their parents for more than just food and security; equally important are assurance, recognition, and interpretation of life. A child develops best in an environment where creativity and discovery are unimpeded by the artificial restrictions of blind faith and dogmatic belief.
Parenting without God is for parents, and future parents, who lack belief in a god and are seeking guidance on raising freethinkers and social-justice-aware...
104) Laconics of Cult
Author
Description
There is but one form of human enslavement more villainous and more detestable than the chains of the tyrant or the shackles of the despot, and that is the enslavement of the human mind under ecclesiastical tyranny, whose cowering and crouching victims at the crack of the priestly lash are driven from the cultivation of their own intelligence, from the custody of their own thoughts, from the guardianship of their own souls, and who, like whipt dogs,...

Deep down, everyone, with very few exceptions, badly wants and needs clarity and assurance, especially when it comes to the deepest most profound existential questions of life--where did we come from (origin)? Why are we here (purpose)? What are we meant to do (morality)? And where are we going (destiny)? Much more, do heaven and hell exist? Is death the end of everything, or is there life in the hereafter?
Thousands of Christians, at some point...

Author
Description
At the age of 22, Don Bay had a revelation-today's religions are a modern mythology no different than the mythologies of the ancient Greeks or Egyptians. This sampler is taken from posts on Don Bay's blog, exploring the different facets of atheism, religious beliefs, and how religious beliefs inform politics. It asks you to think. Is God a myth? Is God good? Did humans create God? What lies behind religious belief? How does religion affect U.S. law?...

Every human culture has evolved religious practices. Clearly, there is something inherent in humanity about religiosity: it must fulfill certain needs that evolved with us as our modern brains developed.
ATHEOPAGANISM explores how the evolution of proceeding brain systems contributed to the belief systems, value sets and religious practices that characterize cultures all over the world. And, then it implements this understanding of the nature of religion...

Croyances et laïcité, un sujet d'actualité au cœur du débat
« On ne peut rester indifférent devant le retour en force des intégrismes qui voudraient nous plonger dans les ténèbres. J'ai donc tenté de mettre en pleine lumière ce que peuvent être les valeurs et les convictions d'un athée laïque. »
De manière parfaitement documentée, Michel Piquemal apporte ici les arguments de réfutation aux croyances et explique pourquoi, malgré...

Dès l'origine, en paléontologie, on commence à parler avec certitude d' « humanité » avec l'apparition des mobiliers funéraires et des premières traces d'inhumation : lorsque l'homme devient capable de se représenter un « Au-delà » de l'humain, de développer des rites de passage de l'ici-bas à un au-delà, il devient humain. À l'échelle de l'histoire et de la géographie humaine, l'athéisme qui s'est développé en Europe essentiellement...

A lot of great thinkers seem to always have contention with religious beliefs, David Hume, Voltaire, Sigmund Freud, Bertrand Russell, Mark Twain, Albert Einstein, Carl Sagan, Elizabeth Anderson, Emma Goldman, Sam Harris, Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins, and many others have refused to give room to unsubstantiated beliefs and superstitions. And the battle of reason and delusion is not about to end anytime soon.

L'homme, quel que soit son questionnement vis-à-vis du mystère de la vie et de la mort, est inquiet. Au-delà de l'athéisme, voire du nihilisme qui ne laisse pas pour autant l'individu indemne d'interrogations, la désaffection pour le religieux résulte, d'une façon générale, de l'impression de victoire technologique de la matière de la société de consommation matérialiste et athée. Les avancées de la science ont fragilisé les religions...

Popular culture has woven itself into the social fabric of our lives, penetrating people's homes and haunting their psyches through images and earworm hooks. Justice, at most levels, is something the average citizen may have little influence upon, leaving us feeling helpless and complacent. But, pop music is a neglected arena where concrete change can occur-by exercising active and thoughtful choices to reject the low-hanging, omnipresent corporate...
