History for Atheists

Tim O'Neill

This blog is for articles, book reviews and critiques relating to "New Atheist Bad History" – the misuse of history and the use of biased, erroneous or distorted pseudo history by anti-theistic atheists. The author is an atheist himself so no, this is not some theist apologetics blog.

The Way of the Heathen

Resources Director

With her unique blend of compassion and humor, thoughtfulness and snark, Greta Christina most emphatically does not propose a single path to a good atheist life. She offers questions to think about, ideas that may be useful, and encouragement to choose your own way. She addresses complex issues in an accessible, down-to-earth style, including: Why we're here Sexual transcendence The meaning of life The meaning of death Frivolity Sensuality How humanism helps with depression — except when it doesn’t Stealing stuff from religion Why atheism demands social justice Different ways to be a good person Joy and much more.

Written by a man who changed the history of philosophy himself, this is an account that has never been rivaled since its first publication over sixty years ago.
