“Godless – The Truth Beyond Belief” investigates one of the last frontiers in civil liberties and human rights: Atheism. So reads the opening sentence on the website of a new film about atheism and society. It asks, “can you be good without god?” Well, yes, you can. That’s the whole point

I’m always slightly amused when my atheism gets me categorized as a follower of satan. I mean, it is like the easter Bunny crew getting all wound up and calling out the tooth fairy for just being a children’s story. So we wind up with this: Yeah. I have to admit, I’m flagging when it […]
