Just when you thought “God’s Not Dead” was it, along comes ANOTHER Christian propaganda film which is meant to make creationists the persecuted victims simply because creationism is illegal to teach in the science classroom. In this video, I take issue with some of the blatant strawman arguments and outright dishonesty within the trailer with criticism.

So after reading an excellent read which I highly recommend, I would like to share the myths which really annoy me as an atheist. Because this list is solely my opinion, I predict some people are going to disagree with some on the list which is why discussion is to be had in the comments section. Maybe some of you have heard theists state a few of these myths (I guarantee you if you read the book you’ll definitely have heard plenty more).
