BY HEMANT MEHTA MARCH 30, 2021 Earlier this month, a church called The Pursuit NW in Snohomish, Washington got a letter from the state’s attorney general warning them against gathering in person in violation of the state’s COVID restrictions. As we know all too well by now, such a sensible request is considered Christian Persecution by religious […]

BY HEMANT MEHTA MARCH 30, 2021 I’m not surprised that conservative Christians have lashed out at rapper Lil Nas X over the “Satan Shoes” he’s promoting (created by the company MSCHF). Given that the entire point of the shoes was to go viral — and not to make any kind of theological argument — the critics fell right into […]

MARCH 25, 2021 BY RANDY ALCORN Big books full of Scripture, theology, and quotations from people long dead don’t normally sell well. Yet to my surprise, and the publisher’s, over a million copies of my 2004 book Heaven have sold. Innumerable readers, including pastors, have told me their views of the afterlife have radically changed. Why? In an […]

BY HEMANT MEHTA MARCH 31, 2021 Dozens of students representing 25 different Christian colleges and universities have filed a lawsuit against the Department of Education for giving federal funding to faith-based schools that discriminate against LGBTQ people. It’s an attempt to force the Biden administration to stop giving money to these bigoted Christian institutions. “The Plaintiffs seek safety and […]

BY HEMANT MEHTA MARCH 29, 2021 Church attendance is at an all time low and the pandemic doesn’t deserve the blame. (Congratulations, everyone. We did it. Extra cookies for everyone at the next meeting.) According to a new Gallup poll, only 47% of Americans say they belong to a house of worship, marking the first time […]

MARCH 26, 2021 BY FREEDOM FROM RELIGION FOUNDATION We at the Freedom From Religion Foundation spent a lot of time this week trying to steer elected officials and institutions on the right path. We urged the junior senator from Mississippi to recant Christian nationalist comments she made in defense of a voter suppression bill. “Sen. Cindy […]

BY HEMANT MEHTA MARCH 26, 2021 I posted last week about a disturbing recording that a West Virginia middle school student had made of her health teacher. The teacher told kids they should avoid sex before marriage because the Bible said so, that students needed to believe in God, that God would help them “make better decisions” […]

MARCH 22, 2021 BY CAPTAIN CASSIDY Hi and welcome back! I’ve always been interested in astronomy, and some of the news from that end of the science-o-sphere has been getting my attention of late. A recent paper in Science discusses how a team of astronomers have detected the precursors to known life in space — and in greater […]

BY HEMANT MEHTA MARCH 23, 2021 There’s a sex scandal involving Australia’s Parliament that’s getting a lot of attention mostly because of how lurid the stories are. In addition to separate claims of sexual abuse, there are images circulating of a government staffer masturbating on a female lawmaker’s desk (with a Parliamentary rule book in the background), […]

BY HEMANT MEHTA MARCH 23, 2021 Two of the people who escaped the King Soopers grocery store yesterday shortly after a shooter came inside — and eventually murdered ten people — spoke to news reporters afterwards about their experience. They said they ran out of the store through an emergency exit in the back and […]

BY HEMANT MEHTA MARCH 15, 2021 Matt Powell, the hate-preacher and Creationist who appears to have dedicated his life to making atheists look smart, has done it again. Fresh off of his humiliating video claiming scientists believe in surfing monkeys, he’s now pretending dinosaurs farted themselves into extinction. I know this because his latest video is called […]

BY HEMANT MEHTA MARCH 15, 2021 The pandemic hasn’t been great for theme parks in general, but it’s been especially bad for Christian theme parks. Those venues certainly attract some people, but when you mix COVID, the decreasing number of Christians in the U.S., and the fact that those venues (like much of Christian entertainment) are often […]

MARCH 15, 2021 BY JAMES A. HAUGHT By James A. Haught By now, it’s clear that religion is fading in America, as it has done in most advanced Western democracies. Dozens of surveys find identical evidence: fewer American adults, especially those under 30, attend church — or even belong to a church. They tell interviewers their […]

BY HEMANT MEHTA MARCH 15, 2021 Given the chance to do the right thing — the obvious thing — the Catholic Church has, once again, failed. The Vatican issued a formal response today to the question of whether Catholic priests can “bless” same-sex unions. The answer up to this point has always been no. After all, the Catechism […]

BY HEMANT MEHTA MARCH 15, 2021 When John* was only eight years old and in second grade, a staffer at Bishop Kelley Catholic School in Michigan “drugged and raped [him] in the teacher’s lounge.” Specifically, Aloysius “Father Al” Volskis gave the boy two blue pills which he thought were going to help his cold symptoms. Instead, in a […]

MARCH 19, 2021 BY KEITH GILES After reading and re-reading the New Testament, I’m now fully convinced that our view of salvation isn’t what the authors of the Gospels or the Epistles had in mind when they used this term. As I’ve mentioned in a previous article, the phrase “He saved others but he cannot save […]

MARCH 17, 2021 BY ADAM LEE We got very lucky in our quest for a coronavirus vaccine. The mRNA approach, untried in humans until now, worked spectacularly well. It yielded two vaccines with 95% efficacy on the first try – like hitting a home run in your first at-bat. Pfizer and Moderna’s vaccines were soon joined by a […]
