Zeitgesit, the movie


Zeitgeist is a movie about the roots of all religions, terrorist attack of 9/11 and economical system of the USA. In the first the movie explains how all religions are based on Pagan astrological beliefs. For the second and third parts you may think both are big conspiracy theories. But I am sure the movie will surprise you and force you to think. I strongly recommend you to watch it.

The God Delusion

Richard Dawkins' bestseller book 'The God Delusion' (first published in 2006), openly criticizes religions in the world, and tries to convince the reader that source of morality cannot be the religions. Personally this book helped me to put my ideas clearly and strengthened my decision to be an atheist. I still have questions about god, religions, and the universe. But 'The God Delusion' supported my questions and encouraged me to ask more. This book is also the reason that I opened this blog.

Does science make belief in God obsolete?


John Templeton Foundation brought scientists and writers together to debate on whether science can make religion obsolete or not. The most interesting one for me was between the author of "God is not Great" and the editor of "the Portable Atheist", Christopher Hitchens and a professor of biology and the author of "Finding Darwin's God", Kenneth Miller.
Hitchens answered the question as "no, but it should" while Miller responded "of course not".

"OUT" Campaign


"Our choir is large, but much of it remains in the closet" says Richard Dawkins and he adds "Our repertoire may include the best tunes, but too many of us are mouthing the words sotto voce* with head bowed and eyes lowered. " Dawkins aims to make the hidden atheists to speak out.
