Herb Silverman champions atheism with wit and warmthnew
Herb Silverman has been a busy man lately. When I caught up with him last week, South Carolina's leading atheist was just back from the Reason Rally in Washington, D.C., where he addressed the thousands of people who had assembled on the Mall, calling for America's numerous non-theist organizations to maintain a united front in their ceaseless battle with the Christian right.

Would Jesus Demand 'Show Me Your Papers?'new
There's no doubt that our nation must find a solution to immigration issues. What we don't need are police-state laws that criminalize efforts to help our fellow men and women, acts commanded of us by our religious beliefs.

Think Barack Obama's a socialist? He's practically Calvin Coolidge if you compare his ideas on health care to those of Jesus.

Is Oil or Religion More to Blame for Iran's Ills?new
Even though I'm a theocracy-hating non-believer, I actually think Iran's primary illness is that it has oil. In my opinion, the country's evil theocrats are merely a secondary symptom of the main sickness.

Can We Get Back to Something Besides Elections?new
Now that the election is over, perhaps the media will decide to tell us about the other important things going on in the world; better still, they may quit flogging the same tired stories we've seen over and over and over.

The GOP Puts All its Political Eggs in the Specious Attack Basketnew
Whether the event -- real or cooked up -- is a sexual indiscretion, tenuous association with someone with an unsavory past or extremist religious views, Democrats seem to get stuck and their GOP counterparts are able to just slip-slide their slimy way through the muck. Why is that?

Sarah Palin's Scary Recordnew
I've become genuinely horrified by the prospect of a Palin vice presidency. Behind her LensCrafters-model looks, I detect a backward-thinking, theocratic extremist with a serious oil addiction.

Why Was Obama's Wailing Wall Display Treated as Sacred?new
What bothers me is how we understand prayer in this culture and how that understanding enables a presidential candidate to use prayer as a political tool, as both symbol and action, when it is neither.

John McCain and the Doomsday Mobnew
With the primary contest behind him, McCain is now gearing up to run against "hope" and "change." In this broader race, lunatic pastors like John Hagee and Rod Parsley become extremely burdensome liabilities. So -- wink wink -- they get cut loose, at least for the next few months until they're needed again.

We have a duty to ourselves to listen to the real Jeremiah Wright, to try to understand this complex mix that is America. He puts the patriotism of most politicians to shame.
