- Why are you here?
- I enjoy the camaraderie. Plus, I read a lot about subjects that interest my fellow freethinkers and if I can help answer questions and/or provide reading suggestions so that they may have their questions answered then I'm glad to be able to do that. I think this place is important to people when it comes to feeling like they're not alone. It's a bastion of sanity and rationality in the sea of nonsense they have find in their day to day lives. Insofar as it is that, I want to foster it and protect it to make sure it continues to be here for them, now and in the future.
- The religion you left
- Was never a part of one
- Why you left your religion. - Other reason
- I was never a part of one. My mother is a non-practicing Episcopalian (who seems to be of the variety that Daniel Dennet would describe as "believing in belief") while my step-father is a non-practicing Reformed "Secular Jew"- while honoring Jewish traditions he wouldn't profess to believe in God.
As such, I was never indoctrinated and, to their never ending credit, they provided for an environment where I could read and learn and consider questions on my own, thereby coming to my own conclusions with an unpolluted mind.

Laura Reilly said… Hi Nelson. I belong to a number of educators' groups that highlight social justice issues; they include "Teaching Tolerance," "Teaching for Change," and "Rethinking Schools." Teaching Tolerance shared a link to an article about banned books in Tucson's schools, and it was while reading it that I stumbled across Think Atheist. I don't know how exactly but I think it was referenced in the article or on that page. Anyway I haven't had too much time to read what's hear but I'm interested in what I see so far! Best, Laura

Thank you for pointing that out-- also, a special thanks for actually reading the "About Me." I usually think those are widely ignored.

Listen to The Think Atheist Radio Show!
Don't miss our new interview with Dr. Elliott Sober. Dr. Sober is the Hans Reichenbach Professor and William F. Vilas Research Professor at the University of Wisconsin- Madison. One of the world's outstanding Philosophers of Science and author of the recently published Did Darwin Write The Origin Backwards?, in addition to numerous additional titles, his interests center on the Philosophy of Biology, evolution, altruism, and confronting "Intelligent Design". We're so happy Dr. Sober joined us to discuss evolution, The Design Argument, Fine-Tuning, and much more..
And if you missed our interview with Vanity Fair magazine's Editor-At-Large, Mr. Cullen Murphy, talking about his new book God's Jury all about The Inquisition, be sure to check that out! Fascinating and horrifying bit of history there!
Make sure to check out all of our past shows and see who's coming up in the next few weeks! You can also grab the shows from our iTunes page.
