Science frees the mind of man and flies him to the moon. Religion blinds man into obedience and flies him into buildings.
Here is a collection of nonfiction books I find interesting as an atheist and I suspect will also be appreciated by other non-believers. I have not yet read all of these, but I plan to read every last one - time permitting. I will update the list as I come across more books that I feel should be included.
Ever wonder what God does all day?
Any nation that claims to protect individual rights--the rights to life, liberty, and property--cannot properly have anything but an open border policy with regard to immigration. To even have the classification "illegal immigrant" is to maintain that the government may classify individuals as criminals absent those individuals committing any objective crimes.
Here is a collection of 41 atheism motivational posters. If you know of any more that are not on the list, post them in the comments!
Did humans evolve from apes or were we created as-is with a superiority to all other organisms? A good portion of the uneducated United States public reject evolution without fully understanding how it works, let alone being aware of the facts that back it up. This is truly sad because evolution is ONE of the MOST IMPORTANT scientific advances of understanding - EVER.
Here is a two-part video that has two different kinds of evolutionary simulations. You have to remember that even though evolution does not have a final design in mind for what organisms should look like over time, it does indeed have a goal. That goal is to survive and reproduce most efficiently in the current environment. The variables that effect survival and reproduction in our world are completely dynamic and environmental. The pressures of surviving are vastly different in the Sahara desert than they are in Antarctica. This is a very important concept to understand in order to fully appreciate and understand evolution.
In the natural sciences, abiogenesis, or origin of life, is the study of how life on Earth emerged from inanimate organic and inorganic molecules. Many people mix up abiogensis with evolution (ironically, its those same people who dont know squat about evolution that claim they know better than 150 years of scientists.) Here are three great videos that will explain to you what abiogensis is, how it could have happened, and why creationist arguments against it are wrong.
There are billions of galaxies in the observable universe. And each of them contain hundreds of billions of stars. In one of these galaxies, orbiting one of these stars, lies a little blue planet. This planet is run, by a bunch of monkeys... Dance monkeys dance!
Many people calculate Hitler's evilness by the massive number of deaths he was responsible for. When Eve ate an apple, God went psycho and damned all her offspring to die. It's estimated that there have been approximately 100 billion human births since the beginning of time -- all of them are dead and dying because god was angry at Eve for eating an apple. Bravo God, you really know how to show your love.
