    Extractions: Any music that is not directly targeted toward a religious audience is considered "secular music". There are many secular songs that have theistic undertones and others are more blatant in their theistic views. What about atheism, agnosticism, religious doubt and ridicule? Does this kind of music exist? You bet it does! I don't like all of it and there are some theistic songs within the secular arena that I do like. The great thing about secular theistic music is that the message is normally hidden or is so innocuous that it has no "real" meaning ( Creed , for example). When I started to seriously look for anti-religious meanings in lyrics I was actually surprised at the number of songs out there. And contrary to popular belief, they were not all Punk and Anarchist songs. For those theists that refuse to listen to secular music, it's too bad. Most secular music does not promote violence or hatred and it does not cause children to commit suicide or attack public schools. Most of the music I listen to (NuWave, Synthpop, progressive, industrial, post modern and alternative) comes from artists with serious messages; and a few have some things they'd like to say about religion... A band or artist that is listed on this page is not necessarily atheist. The groups listed on this page had something to say about religion in their lyrics and that is all that qualified them to be here. Their personal beliefs or lack thereof is another issue entirely.

    http://atheism.about.com/library/weekly/aa092398.htm
    
    Extractions: Affirming Humanism Dateline: September 23, 1998 Considering the level and intensity of attacks levied against humanism by religious conservatives in the media, from the pulpit, and on the internet, one might be lead to think that there is something to all of their allegations. But is there? In an intermittent series of essays, I intend to address a variety of those allegations and examine whether or not they enjoy a solid foundation. One common misconception which is often seen being bandied about is the idea that humanism embodies some sort of dogmatic creed . Most humanists will find this laughable, but they should not shrug it off too quickly. Enough people actually believe it that we really need to deal with it.

While we endeavor to present everything on this site in an atmosphere of tolerance and understanding, realizing that issues of this sort are never beyond doubt or dispute, we also recognize the exclusivity of contrary positions. We, therefore, have no qualms about presenting our belief in the superiority of the Christian Worldview, agreeing with Angelo M.

I expect death to be nothingness and, for removing me from all possible fears of death, I am thankful to atheism ." H. Havelock Ellis: " And it is in his own image, let us remember, that Man creates God ." George H.W. Bush , as Presidential Nominee for the Republican party; 1987-AUG-27: "No, I don't know that Atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered as patriots. This is one nation under God." Dan Barker, Author: " Losing Faith in Faith :" I have something to say to the religionist who feels atheists never say anything positive: You are an intelligent human being. Your life is valuable for its own sake. You are not second-class in the universe, deriving meaning and purpose from some other mind. You are not inherently evil you are inherently human, possessing the positive rational potential to help make this a world of morality, peace and joy. Trust yourself. "

    Extractions: ATHEISM, AGNOSTICISM, FREE THINKING, HUMANISM, etc. Click Here to Visit our Sponsors. One of the problems in the field of religion and ethical systems is that certain terms (e.g. Atheism, Agnosticism, Humanism) have multiple meanings. Perhaps the most impressive example of confusion over terms are "Witch" and "Witchcraft" which have at least 17 different definitions. Those who have abandoned traditional religious beliefs and practices define themselves in various ways: Agnosticism is not a religion or complete ethical system. It is simply a belief that we cannot prove either the existence or the non-existence of deity; (i.e. of one or more gods, one or more goddesses, or combinations of the above). Many Agnostics believe that we cannot know anything about deity or deities at the present time, but that this could conceivably change in the future. Atheism is also not a religion or a complete ethical system. It has two main definitions: The lack of a belief that deity, in the form of one or more supernatural gods or goddesses, exists. American Atheists define an Atheist to be a person who "

    Extractions: "NO ATHEISTS IN FOXHOLES" NBC Nightly News anchor Tom Brokaw is misrepresenting the truth and not providing fair, balanced reporting when he claims "there are no atheists in foxholes," charged an Atheist civil rights watchdog group. Brokaw made the assertion at the beginning of the NBC Nightly News on Tuesday, March 11, 2002. American Atheists President Ellen Johnson charged that Brokaw repeatedly seems to present this questionable claim, as he did in another broadcast on 10/8/01. The statement can be traced back to the writings of World War II journalist Ernie Pyle. "Isn't it time that a prominent news reporter like Tom Brokaw stopped using this questionable canard, or at least tried to verify whether it could be false and unfair to millions of Americans who do not believe in a God?" asked Johnson. She added that during the Godless Americans March on Washington held last November in the nation's capital, "hundreds of Atheists, Freethinkers and other nonbelievers who serve or have served in the military took the stage and were widely applauded for their patriotism." Ron Barrier, Communications Director for American Atheists, said that Brokaw should not claiming and constantly repeating that the phrase is an "axiom."

It has a short and simple title: Atheism The rich human history of Atheism is examined in detail in several articles in The Roots of Atheism The roots of American Atheists are closely associated with the Murray v. Curlett case. Here is the text of the Petitioners' Brief to the US Supreme Court. California Lawyer and political candidate Edward Tabash discusses the controversy or ridiculing religious beliefs Ancient humans could not understand the real reason for the passing seasons. They associated what they observed with all sorts of mystical goings on. In this short pamphlet, Frank R. Zindler explains the natural seasons . Now, when a theist tries to tell you about the "reason for the season," you'll know better. Next are three essays by Frank Zindler: Ethics Without Gods .

    Extractions: LU-Announce 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. After all, psychology, since its founding roughly a century ago, has often focused on the opposite topic-namely the psychology of religious belief. Indeed, in many respects the origins of modern psychology are intimately bound up with the psychologists who explicitly proposed interpretations of belief in God. William James and Sigmund Freud, for example, were both personally and professionally deeply involved in the topic. Recall The Will to Believe by James, as well as his still famous

    Extractions: The Fascist Ideology of Star Trek One and only one person can give steering and engine orders at any one time....The commanding officer may take over the deck or the conn...In taking the conn from the officer of the deck, the captain should do so in such a manner that all personnel of the bridge watch will be notified of the fact. Watch Officer's Guide, A Handbook for all Deck Watch Officers , Revised by K.C. Jacobsen, Commander, U.S. Navy, 11th Edition [Naval Institute Press, Annapolis, Maryland, 1981, pp. 68-69] I have always liked Star Trek . I watched the original show in the 60's, waited eagerly for the first movie in the 70's, and then later in the 80's got hooked all over again on Star Trek: The Next Generation . It has been good television, good science fiction, and occasionally even good film. Some things, nevertheless, have driven me crazy: (1) Picard and Riker both giving commands, in tandem, on the bridge is absurd. One person has the conn or has the deck on a ship, and it is dangerous to have any confusion about that (see quote above). As Executive Officer, Riker wouldn't even be on the bridge in ordinary circumstances. (2) There doesn't seem to be anything like a regular watch on the bridge. In one show a big point is made that only a full commander can have bridge command, but nothing is more common on the show than to have scenes where all the senior officers of the ship are in some conference or other, leaving who knows who directing the ship on the bridgeunless there are full commanders who aren't part of the regular cast. The writers don't seem to know what naval lieutenants are forto be the officers of the deck. And (3)

39. Atheism---A Bayesian Approach
    A probabilistic examination of existence / nonexistence of god with an agnostic conclusion.  
    http://astrosun.tn.cornell.edu/students/wilson/bayes.html
    
    Extractions: by Peter D. Wilson Bayesian inference is a method of analysis that is very useful when comparing hypotheses. It assigns probabilities to all the possible outcomes of an experiment, combines this with all the knowledge one has before performing the experiment, and then calculates the probability of each hypothesis being true given the actual observation. The method is fully contained in Bayes theorem which is Occam's Razor states that given two hypotheses for a set of observations, the better choice is the simpler hypothesis. The more complicated model will always make better predictions and will be capable of explaining a wider range of observations, but if these complications are unnecessary the simpler model should be preferred. Bayesian inference has this built into it because it deals with probabilities. We have the constraint that the integral of each of these probabilities over all hypotheses or observations be equal to 1. This requires that at least one of our hypotheses be true and that one observation actually occur. One must therefore distribute a finite amount of probability among all possible observations; the more observations one must distribute over, the less probable any single observation becomes. If the reindeer died, neither hypothesis goes to zero. We are left with the relative probability of the two hypotheses. Because the probability of a reindeer dying with notR being true is 1 while for it not dying with R being true is less than 1, the posterior probability of R will decrease (and notR increase) after each experiment. This occurs regardless of the prior weightings and the distribution of probability between flying and dying with R. Because R can explain both flying and dying reindeer but notR can only explain dying reindeer, when only dying reindeer are observed the better hypothesis becomes notR. The preference for notR over R will never be absolute because the probability of R won't ever become zero although it may come close. How strong must the preference be before notR can be accepted and we move on to more important questions? 3-to-1? 100-to-1? or, a billion-to-one?
