Book review by John Jay Hughes
As they look down from the heights of our culture, writers at the New York Times, the New York Review of Books, CBS’s 60 Minutes, and much of the professoriat on both sides of the Atlantic contemplate the sorry role of the Catholic Church in 20th-century history. In [...]

Of all the lessons that I present concerning the existence of God and of all the material that I try to make available to people to learn about God’s existence, the present lesson, “Why I Left Atheism,” is the lesson in the series that I frankly do not like to present. [...]

According to a common view, belief in God is kind of like belief in a giant teapot circling the sun. Just like we would assume that the teapot doesn’t exist if there’s no evidence for a teapot flying around the sun, so if there [...]
By Paul C. Vitz, Ph.D.
The title of this paper, “The Psychology of Atheism,” may seem strange. Certainly, my psychological colleagues have found it odd and even, I might add, a little disturbing.

By David Pack
People have debated the existence of God for thousands of years. Most conclude that it cannot be proven—one way or the other. It is surmised that the correct answer lies in the area of abstract philosophy and the metaphysical. Others become agnostics, asserting that they “don’t know” if God exists. Those who [...]
Review by Karl
Becky Garrison responds to the virulent attacks on faith from the new radical atheists who preach their anti-God message with the same zealotry as many on the extreme Christian right. Rather than simply standing on her pulpit and attacking these new anti-god preachers, she refutes their arguments against God and Christianity while [...]
