You are right that when engaging people who are very religious, one must spark debate for anything meaningful to change. However, the purpose of the billboard campaign…"

Like a sleepy blue ocean.
You fill up my senses,…"

So my wife and I are very secular but did want to honor the traditions of our familes. So we peppered the whole ceremony with "traditions" from both the religions and cultures of our families. We got married under a…"
James replied to Kevin B's discussion 'Atheist Wedding - Need some IDEAS!!!'"My wife and I had a secular wedding as well. No god at all! :) We hired an officiant, rented a place, wrote our own vows, and had a few readings as well. We did alter the format some (exchange rings at beginning, hand fasting,…"
Reggie replied to Kevin B's discussion 'Atheist Wedding - Need some IDEAS!!!'"Lucky you! I mean it!
I agree completely with your sentiment. I only heard about one guest, by way of the grapevine, that complained that God wasn't mentioned during our ceremony. Most of my family and friends did not…"
Mac B replied to Kevin B's discussion 'Atheist Wedding - Need some IDEAS!!!'"Can't get used to the terminology on here really, as I've said I'm not really used to there being something odd about not believing in god.

Reggie replied to Kevin B's discussion 'Atheist Wedding - Need some IDEAS!!!'"We went to the St. Louis Ethical Society to get an officiant.

So my g/f and I recently got engaged, and are in the midst of wedding planning now. We are going churchless for the ceremony, but to be honest, we are keeping the format. So doing away with all of the god nonsense, we still wanted to have her much younger siblings do a couple 'readings', but I'm having some trouble coming up with good ideas. I'll take any kind of poetry or song lyrics, even some kind of short story or anecdote if its good enough. Keep in mind - I need stuff about love and…See More
Joe commented on Kevin B's blog post 'The Internet and The End of Religion'"Most theists probably would not go on a forum like this because they know it would be like hitting a beehive. They know that they wouldn't be prepared to deal with the "bees." I think more theists would be more open to critical…"
James commented on Kevin B's blog post 'How Your Atheism Helps Make Your Other Decisions'"Nicely written except for one caveat. You started out saying that 'none of us are bore Atheiest, but are born Agnostics). The truth is that we are BOTH. The Atheist/Agnostic confusion has been coming up a lot lately. They address two separate…"
Gerald Scott commented on Kevin B's blog post 'How Your Atheism Helps Make Your Other Decisions'"I wonder if there are people that stereotype religious people. When I see a cross around someone's neck or a tee-shirt with jesus on the front and some nice saying, here's what I think. A recent study concluded that Christians…"

The Internet and The End of Religion
Posted on March 15, 2011 at 2:23pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
The Internet has affected most human interaction in a way never thought possible. Can this sharing of knowledge really lead to the end of religion?
Short answer: No.
The internet will likely not be the undoing of all faith in the supernatural in the world. However, the internet has and will continue to have a large and growing effect on the amount of Atheists/Agnostics in the world. the result will be most of the world…

It is safe to assume that most people are not born Atheists.*
While it is a truism that people are born without religion, one can only really claim that people are born Agnostics. Many of us would have said at some point that we believed in God, but how did we…
