"Oh, I know where the number came from. They used the 2008 ARIS survey and used all of the None/No Religion group instead of the people who answered Atheist/Agnostic. Atheism/Agnosticism, which is actually a subset in that category which numbered at…"

"@Kenneth - that number (10X) was based on the conclusions by the authors of the 2008 American Religious Identification Survey (ARIS), which, not only counted proclaimed atheists, but those they deemed atheistic in their survey answers."

Women in Atheism - Article in Bitch Magazine

This one hit close to my feminist-atheist heart! Susan Jacoby is the person I hold most responsible for my path into freethought and, later, atheism.

Women are God-fearing and don’t challenge institutions. Men, on the other hand, are skeptical and rational, and go out of…

Great Article from AlterNet: There Are 10 Times As Many Atheists as Mormons: When Will Non-Believers Become a Political Force?

Excerpt:

 

"Imagine the kind of world we could live in if atheists were a political force. It would be a world where secularism is the unquestioned law of the land, where religious groups wouldn't interfere in politics unless they could put forward arguments backed by evidence that anyone could examine, and not just appeals to faith.

My Memories of Doubt

Posted on June 8, 2011 at 11:53pm 3 Comments

I remember being 9 or 10, doubting during the Xmas service at church...asking God to give me a sign. I saw one bulb on the Xmas tree moving furiously back and forth. I got so excited to have my sign that God existed...until I saw the heating vent positioned directly to the side of that section of tree.

 

I remember visiting my aunt's church around the same age and attending Sunday school there. The lesson was on Judas betraying Jesus. On the worksheet, we were to circle the…

Thank you.  I really liked that pic.  I got it from icanhazcheezburger.com, of course.  The reason I asked about the hat is that between it and the bit of the dress you are wearing that I can see, it almost looks like you are Amish or Mennonite.  Or, "were".

I am curious about your photo, Andrea.  What is it that you are wearing on your head?
