The Perils of Atheism
In recent Internet wanderings, it has become apparent to me that atheism comes with some inherent dangers. I’m also learning that many people have some bizarre and disturbing misconceptions about atheists. I’ve been seeing evidence of widespread anti-atheist prejudice — something that hadn’t even showed up on my radar prior to a few months ago. A recent poll even shows that atheists are the most pre-judged of all minorities in terms of politics.
I have no interest in convincing people whether to believe in any particular religion. My hope in starting this web log is to have some small effect upon the undeserved and inaccurate ideas some people have about atheism and atheists.
Now, I know I can’t speak for all atheists. Just like everyone else, atheists run the full range of intelligence, morality, political leanings, etc. All I can offer are my opinions, thoughts, and observations. I encourage and invite anyone respond to my posts here. I’d love to hear from you whether you agree with me or not.
Expect more from me very soon.
