Freethinker: : one that forms opinions on the basis of reason independently of authority; especially : one who doubts or denies religious dogma
By all means let's be open-minded,
but not so open-minded that our brains drop out.Richard Dawkins, in "Science, Delusion and the Appetite for Wonder,"

Less Christians, More atheists
I stole this from Friendly Atheist's blog. Gradually, people are turning away from superstition seeing the light of reason.
Thanks Bon! I was checking out your blog after you commented here and what wonderful photos you have posted there. Cute little baby boy, I must say. Hope you come back often. I have your blog bookmarked.
Sometimes I don't know what to think about the accuracy of these stats. Just the other day I read that only 4% of Americans self-identify as atheist or agnostic.
This survey is from a religious source, so don't know why they would skew the numbers in favor of the atheists. I think one of the most accurate surveys' is of the Pew Forum.
I just love your blog. And appreciate and agree with so many of your philosophies.

ReplyDeleteCould be that they're trying to scare people...you know how that goes.
ReplyDeleteYeah, to try to get them to "witness" more and to get heathens to come to Jeebus.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same thing as Andrea. Sneaky people...
