Atheism
If you don’t believe in God, why live?
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.
Answering 10 Questions for Every Atheist
A Christian website has posted ten questions for every atheist, which it maintains no atheist can truly and honestly answer. These are my answers.
Rebecca Bynum’s Misinformed Atheism Bashing
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
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
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.
