Suicide, Sacrifice, and Murder: Children Die in the Name of God

On average in the United States, ONE CHILD PER MONTH dies because of their parents religious beliefs.

Jury selection starts for the trial of Leilani Neumann this week. She is charged with second-degree reckless homicide for the death of her eleven-year-old daughter Madeline 'Kara' Neumann. Dale Neumann's trial is scheduled for July.

Children Left to Die with God

A mother in Sleepy Eye Minnesota is choosing to not allow her son to take Chemotherapy Treatments for Hodgkin's. She claims that her reasoning is religious. The article doesn't make clear which religion, but for me that's not even relevant. Instead she is seeking "alternative healing techniques" on the internet.

Child Advocate Wastes Precious CPS Resources in the Name of God

Religion's Ultimate Sin - Childhood Indoctrination

I recently got into a fairly heated debate with one of my children's aunts regarding religion. She was apparently appalled by the fact that I've been doing my best to shield them (ages 4 and 2) from religion and that I took issue with her teaching them about the Bible while watching them one day. When I learned about it I told her, pretty bluntly, that I did not want her shilling her religious beliefs off on my children and if she wished to babysit them in the future to please respect those… Continue

How one Bible story (NOAHS ARK) proves the Bible is full of crap.. and why the heck is it so popular among kids?

While often thought of as a "Children's Story", this is far from it. Loaded with contradictions to what we have been told about God, this story raises some interesting questions.

Warning – this view might disturb some readers, but please read the full article to understand to context of the points being made before jumping to conclusion.

The well known story of Noah's Ark is often listed as a favorite, and often considered as… Continue
