Here’s a snippet from a recent article in the journal Science: … Last fall, the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) was harshly criticized in Parliament for asserting in a report that the underwater ridge connecting India and Sri Lanka was natural rather than the remains of a bridge built by the traditional hero Rama.

An article by Bryan Patterson in the Herald Sun (Australia) juxtaposes two strikingly different ways religious and non-religious people are interacting. First, we see the methods that just drive us all apart. Like the recent attempts at religious-based video games. In one of them, created by an atheist, you try to violently knock off religious prophets. In the other, created by a Christian company, the “object is to convert or kill non-Christians.” Thankfully, there are people on both sides who… Read more

A simple, to-the-point ad recently ran on a local TV network in Oklahoma: I feel like the WTC background makes a strong point, but generalizes all religions as violent and destructive as fundamentalist Islam. Obviously, not all religions are as bad, though they are all equally untrue. Should the Tulsa Atheist Group get rid of the image for future ads?
