Atheist Revolution is a name that makes the warrior's heart sing who fights fundamentalist religion. Like so many of our kind, they list many helpful links. These are in categories:
The Atheist's Bookshelf: links to books like
Atheism: The Case Against God,
The God Delusion, and
Atheist Universe: The Thinking Person's Answer to Christian Fundamentalism.
Interact With Freethinkers: links to other sites, including this one, that allow secular people to network with like-minded people.
Freethought Organizations: links to formal organizations
Atheist Resources: This list covers everything from what atheism is to what the religious right is. The titles suggest an aim to educate the atheist regarding the situation atheists face in their fight against fundamentalist religion, while also reassuring them of their own identity and the legitimacy of their position.
For Christians is a similar, though shorter, list for the education of Christians regarding the atheist position.
The remaining categories are: Recommended DVDs, Activism, and Political Thoughts.
The content of Atheist Revolution itself has an eye on the world, esp. on the USA, and what is happening that may have an impact on atheism in any way. Here is the very interesting entry of Aug. 24, 2007:
Quote:
Was Mother Teresa an atheist? Andrew Brown at Comment is Free asks this intriguing question in light of recently released writings which show that Mother Teresa had serious questions about her faith. Brown writes, "...even as she was receiving the Nobel prize, she asked her confessor to pray for her because she could feel nothing when she prayed herself and no longer had any experience of God."
The implications are certainly interesting to ponder, although I would be shocked if this new information changed any minds. Christians desperately need her to remain a symbol of Christianity, and so she will remain one.
The announcement
For Aussies on this forum is also taken from Atheist Revolution and is indicative of the wide range of topics covered.
