Atheists Need Not Apply for Presidency
Not that you needed to be told this, but atheists are not going to win an election for president anytime soon. Shocking, right?
Mark Oppenheimer said in Slate that atheists are the least likely of any group to win the presidency, falling behind such political favorites as Muslims, Hindus and homosexuals.
The order Oppenheimer placed the [...]
Ted Haggard Blames Being Gay on Childhood Abuse
The Rev. Ted Haggard, of gay prostitute fame, says that he “sinned” because of the abuse he suffered when he was 7-years old.
Haggard said that an employee of his father had a sexual encounter with him when he was seven, and somehow, that led to him paying for sex with some guy and doing meth [...]
Fox News Mocks Atheist Bus Campaign
I usually like Fox News, at least more than most people on the Internet. I don’t find them to be completely conservative, only certain shows. I think Shepard Smith is the best in the business, and I have no problem with Brit Hume or Chris Wallace. Their editorial shows like Hannity and [...]
Mormons and Prop 8 - Crossing a Tax Exempt Line?
Proposition 8 in California was perhaps the most talked about ballot measure in all of the 2008 election. The prop overturned the legality of gay marriage in California, making it once again illegal for same-sex couples to be wed.
I am not an activist, and this topic is not my highest priority (sorry gays), but [...]
Atheist Bus Campaign Reaches America
An atheist bus campaign has been in full effect for some time in the UK, raising over £100,000, and now the American Humanist Association is getting in on the fun by launching similar campaigns in America, just in time for (the war on) Christmas season.
The AHA campaign is placing ads on buses in Washington, DC [...]
Religion and Politics Report Card For the 2008 Election
Religion and politics butted heads several times in the 2008 election season, impacting the presidential vote, Senate races and of course ballot measures. So what was the final score of the religion in politics season?
Electing Representatives
Secularism Defeated Religion
Starting at the presidential level, the only religious issue was that many non-religious folks, and many non-Republicans [...]
Atheists Apparently Still OK to Discriminate Against
If we’ve learned anything in this election, it’s that atheists may be the final group of people in the United States that it is okay to discriminate against. Muslims are apparently still in the running, but atheists are fair game to all, and supported by none.
Take for instance the Senatorial race in North Carolina, [...]
The Religion Guide to the Presidential Election
To many people, religion is a key ingredient in what makes a good president or government. In the United States, many mistakenly feel that this is a Christian nation, and should be governed as such. Since that’s not the case, and the Constitution is clear about a separation between church and state, each [...]
Apparently The Creation Museum Isn’t Worth Visiting
Not that I needed to be told that I wouldn’t enjoy a trip to The Creation Museum outside of Cincinnati, but I’ve found out that I apparently won’t enjoy it. Shocking. Come to think of it, I don’t think I’d enjoy Cincinnati, but that’s for completely different reasons.
Thankfully, Christopher from Fabulously in the [...]
Joe Biden on Religion
After documenting as much as I could about the presidential candidates’ religious views, as well as those of Republican Vice-Presidential nominee Sarah Palin, all I have left is Democratic Vice-Presidential nominee Joe Biden.
The purpose of these pages is not to analyze what each candidate’s religious beliefs are, but only to document what they’ve actually said [...]
