A Lifesaving Sentence
Pamela Whissel
Editor-in-Chief
PWhissel@Atheists.org
Atheists are
often accused of
having disdain
for
religious
people,
and
some of them
do. But Dave can
recognize a religious person as someone who might be looking
for the truth but has had their efforts dampened by religions
insistence on faith, or as someone who could be exploring their
sexuality without guilt or pause if not for their religions rules
about sex. While not all believers are victims to the same extent,
Dave makes it clear that, at minimum, they can continue doing
everything theyre already doing in their lives without believing
false things about the world.
Daves approach is direct, but its important to understand
that he adopts this tone out of respect for his audience. He speaks
to you directly and leaves no ambiguity as to his position and why
he holds it. I actually found his approach comforting. I liked that
he wasnt trying to placate me or massage my thoughts. He was
simply sharing the honest reasons for doing what he does, which,
he argues, should compel the reader to follow suit.
Dave also makes it clear that the fight to minimize religions
impact on the world is not a lost cause. Right out of the gate,
he says, We have no money compared to religion. We have no
power compared to religion. Yet our numbers are growing while
theirs are shrinking, because its not just about money or power,
but about truth.
Because of the provocative title, its possible that the very
Atheists who need this book the most will be the least likely to read
it. Thats why every one of us should read Fighting God. It equips
us to speak not just to religious people, but to other Atheists who
may not yet realize just how much better off the world would be
with no religionand how this isnt an unrealistic dream.
Although I was already convinced that religion is bad for the
world, I came away from this book with some new ideas and a
renewed optimism. Lets face it: since were playing from behind,
its easy to feel that losing is inevitable. Fighting God left me
invigorated and confident that if we buckle down, work together,
and have some fun while were at it, we can make a real difference
to people in it who, like so many of us once did, sublimate their
curiosity and desire because religion tells them to. That makes
playing catch-up damn near smile-inducing, even though religion
has had a head start of a few millennia.

Ex-Mormon Missionary
Lesson 4: The Commandments, Part 1
by Greg Hawkins
his is is the fourth installment of our series by a former Mormon who was a
missionary in the Philippines. In these articles, he describes what goes on when
missionaries knock on your door, and you let them in. Hes also giving a side of
the story that the missionaries may leave outor may not even be aware of in the first place. A
missionarys training includes only whitewashed, disinfected talking-points. They are taught to
stick to the script and are unprepared to deal with any meaningful or intelligent deviation.
For example, a Mormon has a lifelong requirement to tithe (give ten percent of their income
to the Church). This applies to everyone, even if you live in poverty or you are raising a large
family or if you have enormous debt. Its possible that by questioning a missionary in an amiable,
non-confrontational way, youll give them a real opportunity to apply critical thinking to their
religions harmful absurdities, like non-negotiable tithing. For many of them, it will be the first
time theyve ever done so.

Nonbelievers
who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of
bondage. You shall have no other gods before me. 2) You shall
not make a graven image or likeness of other gods. You shall not
bow down to them or serve them; for I the Lord your God am
a jealous God. 3) You shall not take the name of the Lord your
God in vain. 4) Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. 5)
Honor your father and your mother. 6) You shall not kill. 7) You
shall not commit adultery. 8) You shall not steal. 9) You shall
not bear false witness against your neighbor. 10) You shall not
covet your neighbors house; you shall not covet your neighbors
wife, or his manservant, or his maidservant, or his ox, or his ass,
or anything of your neighbors.
The ordinances give common-sense rules for all kinds of
things like: You shall not permit a sorceress to live. Whoever
sacrifices to any god, save to the Lord only, shall be utterly
destroyed. You shall not boil a kid (baby goat) in its mothers
milk. Whoever curses his father or his mother shall be put to
death. Whoever lies with a beast shall be put to death. When
you buy a Hebrew slave, he shall serve six years, and in the
seventh he shall go free. If an ox gores a slave, the owner shall
give to their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be
stoned. When a man strikes a slave, male or female, with a rock
and the slave dies, he shall be punished. But if the slave survives
a day or two, he is not to be punished. Okay, got that? Its the
word of the Lord.
Then God gave Moses excruciatingly detailed instructions
on how to build an ark (box) to keep a copy of the signed deal
in. The special box is called the Ark of the Covenant. Plus,
specifications for a mobile tabernacle to keep the ark in, tent
poles, veils, garments, jewels, gold and silver decorations,
tables, altars, lamps and furnishings, curtains with loops and
clasps, screens, pillars, turbans, girdles, priestly uniforms with
insignia, robes, gold chains, caps, measurements, a bronze sink
for washing, and directions for sacrifices. Oh, and also take a
census. And collect atonement money.
Whoa, Moses said, How am I going remember all that?
So God scrawled notes on some stone tablets using his own
finger, the finger of God. Powerful.
Okay, were all good here. Moses came down from the
mountain.
The Golden Calf and Broken Tablets
Well, wouldnt you know, Aaron and the people of
Israel couldnt even behave for forty days, even with those
unpredictable trumpet blasts. While Moses was gone, they
ally and Steve Cass front the Atheist rock band Monster On Sunday, which released its first
CD in August. Formed in 2012, with Tally as singer/lyricist and Steve as guitarist/composer,
the band has performed to rave reviews on the San Diego music scene and in Portland,
Oregon. Joining them this summer for their album release show in Ramona, California, were
Atheist folk singer Shelly Segal and comedian Steve Hill. They also appeared at the first annual
Godless Gala in June, hosted by the Humanist Fellowship of San Diego. Their first video, for their
single Just Like You is slated to premiere on Atheist TV. They sat down with American Atheist to
talk about how the band got started and whats in store for the future.
Whats the story behind the title Baby Eater?
Tally: A lot of religious people try to pretend that they have some sort of monopoly on morality. Our whole album, especially
the title track by the same name, challenges that view. The title track is about how religious thinking can cause many immoral acts
which can only be justified through indoctrination.
What are your religious backgrounds?
Tally: I was raised Mennonite Christian, but belief in god never really took. Ive called myself an Atheist since I was a teenager,
by Natasha Stoynoff
hree unlikely buddies, one common goal, and a few death-defying talesthats what you
get when you send Seth Andrews, Matt Dillahunty, and Aron Ra out on the road together
to talk reason and rationality with the people.
Raised in a Lutheran-Pentecostal household, Seth Andrews was a Christian radio broadcaster with
nagging doubts about his faith when a fervent lecture by Christopher Hitchens became the tipping
point for his apostasy. He wrote about his road to Atheism in his 2012 memoir, Deconverted: A Journey
from Religion to Reason and hosts The Thinking Atheist radio show at TheThinkingAtheist.com. His
latest book is Sacred Cows: A Lighthearted Look at Belief and Tradition around the World.
Former Southern Baptist Matt Dillahunty was a fundamentalist Christian for over twenty years.
After eight years in the Navy, he was seminary-bound when his religious studies had a boomerang
effect, shattering his belief in god. Today, he co-hosts The Atheist Experience, produced by the Atheist
Community of Austin. Archived episodes are at Atheist-Experience.com.
Aron Ra, American Atheists Texas Regional Director, grew up in a Mormon household and began
debating adults about creationism from the young age of eight. A one-time tattooist, he rides a 1500cc
Victory Vegas motorcycle and is the creator of the video series Foundational Falsehoods of Creationism,
available on YouTube.
They met one other at the 2011 Oklahoma Freethought Convention, where they clicked immediately,
says Dillahunty. Three years later, they teamed up as The Unholy Trinity and toured the U.S. in 2014
(hitting Amarillo, Albuquerque, and San Antonio). Then the Atheist Foundation of Australia brought
them to Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney last March. The roving trio of freethinking storytellers spoke
in churches, college campuses, city halls, and theaters. When accommodations were tight in Sydney,
they roughed it by camping in tents and using the dunny (outhouse)all for the good of the cause.
Over drinks on the eve of the first Gateway to Reason seminar in St. Louis, Missouri, in September,
the activists talked snake-charming, sleeping habits, and the pseudo-religious experience of going
Down Under. Theyre far from New-Agey, but its still all about the journey, says Andrews.

snakes
Aron: A salvator water monitor and an anaconda. Who
gets to brag about that?
But you made it out alive. What about here in the
U.S.? Are you booed out of your hometowns like
Jesus was in Nazareth?
Seth: We did a presentation in my hometown of Tulsa,
Oklahoma, at the Oklahoma Freethought Convention,
and several speakers were featured in an article in advance.
Someone [wrote to the paper in response] that we should be
blackballed from Tulsa. Run them out of town!
Does that discourage you?
Matt: The mission is way more important than any one of
us or the three of us. If Im ever at a point where Im convinced
that Im a hindrance to the movementIm out. Im done.
Seth: We all have one goalto speak to people in the
reassuring and honest way we wished we had [been spoken
to] when we were going through our own journeys. Were in a
movement that needs storytellers.
We want to tell people, I can relate to your struggle. I
understand what youre going through. I think youre beautiful
even when many people say you are ugly. I think doubt can
be an amazing and wonderful thing. I think your curiosity is
something that should be celebrated. You are an individual,
and you have a right to live your own life.
When you see the insanity of religion around you, just
know that youre not alone.
Aron: When we were in Sydney, it was the first time I
heard Seths presentation. I was tearing up. It really moved
me. Im serious.
Seth: If I can quote it as an Australian might, I would look
them all in the eyes and simply say, No worries.
When this interview continues in our next issue, The Wise
Guys discuss favorite Bible verses, cockatoos, and why theres
no such thing as an Atheist groupie. In the meantime, check out

Trinity apparel.
Natasha Stoynoff is a New York Times best-selling author and feature
writer for People magazine. She lives in Manhattan, where shes
working on her first Atheist-oriented screenplay.
Members of Atheists for Human Rights register as wedding celebrants in Washington County.
Back row, far left, is plaintiff Rodney Rogers. Standing next to him is attorney Randall Teague.
A few days later, I received a settlement offer from the
County. If our members reapplied with certificates issued
by the Church of Smoke and Mirrors, the applications would
be accepted. We immediately rejected the offer. After all,
we brought this lawsuit because our members, as Atheists,
shouldnt be required to form a church in order to be qualified
to solemnize a marriage.
Our case never went before a judge because less than a week
before the motion for preliminary injunction was scheduled
for a hearing, I received another letter which told me that the
County had changed its collective mind and would now accept
credentials from AFHR, as well as other Atheist organizations.
This led to the judge ultimately dismissing our lawsuit
as moot. In commenting to the Star Tribune after the judges
decision, Orput had this to say: What it came down to was a
risk-benefit for the county in that when we were sued based on
our plain reading of the statute, we realized there was a strong
likelihood that the courts may rule against us, causing us to pay
significant attorneys fees to the other side. So we said, OK, we
surrender. (Judge Tosses Lawsuit, but Atheists Still Score Win
over Washington County, May 15, 2105, StarTribune.com).
That surrender led a large group of AFHR officiants to
stage a mass registration of AFHR credentials in Washington
County, and further guarantees that, notwithstanding the
discriminatory language that remains on Minnesotas statute
books, Atheists will be free to solemnize marriages anywhere in
the state of Minnesota.
Randall Tigue is American Atheists regional director for Minnesota.
He is also a board member of the Minnesota chapters of the Secular
Coalition for America and Americans United for Separation of Church
and State. He is a past national president of the First Amendment
Lawyers Association and past president of the Minnesota affiliate
of the ACLU.

absolute separation of state and church, accepting the explanation of Thomas Jefferson that the First Amendment
to the Constitution of the United States was meant to create a wall of separation between state and church.
Definitions:

theism is the comprehensive world view of persons who are free from theism and have freed themselves of supernatural
beliefs altogether. It is predicated on ancient Greek Materialism.
theism involves the mental attitude that unreservedly accepts the supremacy of reason and aims at establishing a lifestyle and ethical outlook verifiable by experience and the scientific method, independent of all arbitrary assumptions of
authority and creeds.
aterialism declares that the cosmos is devoid of immanent conscious purpose; that it is governed by its own inherent,
immutable, and impersonal laws; that there is no supernatural interference in human life; that humankind, finding
the resources within themselves, can and must create their own destiny. It teaches that we must prize our life on earth
and strive always to improve it. It holds that human beings are capable of creating a social system based on reason and
justice. Materialisms faith is in humankind and their ability to transform the world culture by their own efforts. This is
a commitment that is, in its very essence, life-asserting. It considers the struggle for progress as a moral obligation that is
impossible without noble ideas that inspire us to bold, creative works.
aterialism holds that our potential for good and more fulfilling cultural development is, for all practical purposes,
unlimited.
