Does Atheism Make Reason Impossible?

Does Atheism Make Reason Impossible?

December 27, 2017 by Fergus Duniho Leave a Comment

This is a response to a post by Frank Turek called WHY ATHEISM MAKES REASON IMPOSSIBLE. I will quote some of what he says to add context. If we are just molecules in motion as atheists assert, then every thought we have is the result of the non-rational laws of physics.

Are Atheistic Worldviews Religions?

October 30, 2015 by Fergus Duniho Leave a Comment

It is claimed that atheistic worldviews are held on faith, and that this makes them religions. As explained here, this is incorrect.

Atheist or Agnostic?

July 9, 2015 by Fergus Duniho Leave a Comment

Neil deGrasse Tyson has identified himself as an agnostic instead of an atheist. What should we make of this? And what is the distinction?

If you don’t believe in God, why live?

June 19, 2015 by Fergus Duniho 3 Comments

Is life meaningless or worthless without God? No, meaningful lives are available even without God, and life is the sort of thing that is inherently worthwhile. This article, and its accompanying video, explain why the lives of atheists can be both meaningful and worthwhile.

Rebecca Bynum’s Misinformed Atheism Bashing

April 27, 2012 by Fergus Duniho Leave a Comment

In her book Allah Is Dead: Why Islam is Not a Religion, Christian author Rebecca Bynum tries to distance Islam from Christianity, lumping it together with atheism, which she unfairly bashes. But her atheism-bashing is misinformed, as her values and atheist values are not so far apart.

The New Atheism is not so New

April 24, 2012 by Fergus Duniho Leave a Comment

In recent years, we have heard of New Atheism, associated with atheists who have been openly critical of religion, particularly Dawkins, Hitchens, Harris, and Dennett. Some people seem shocked by this, as though they expect atheists to keep quiet about their beliefs. I recently read a book that easily fits in with New Atheism, except it was written in 1846.

Rebecca Bynum’s Progressive Diminishment of Man

April 2, 2012 by Fergus Duniho Leave a Comment

In Allah Is Dead: Why Islam is Not a Religion, Rebecca Bynum frequently claims that Christianity is superior to Islam, and to do this, she often tries to lump Islam and Atheism together, as if they are both more alike than they are like Christianity. So there is lots of backpeddling, in which she will criticize Islam, then try to show that Christianity is not the same.
