Catholicism a Blood Cult – Official!

This is simply sick! There is no other word for it!

Catholic Care Cannot Disciminate Against Gay Couples

Adoption charity Catholic Care has lost its latest appeal to continue to be bigots…sorry, it has lost its latest appeal to discriminate and treat gay couples as second class citizens and unfit people on the basis that an impossible, unproven, invisible, intolerant sky fairy said so….

No, let me start again!

Adoption charity Catholic Care has lost its latest appeal to be exempt from quality laws that allow gay couples to use adoption services. Full story from the BBC

Another victory against old fashioned and out of date, bigoted views based on a faith position, which no longer serves a civilised society.

Sign – Creationism in Schools isn’t Science

A petition has appeared on the GoPetition site. The statement reads:

 

Creationism is known, and officially acknowledged, to be contrary to scientific fact. We therefore demand that creationism should not be presented as a valid scientific position, nor creationist websites and resources be promoted, in publicly funded schools or in any youth activities run on publicly funded school premises.

Please sign it, then Tweet, Facebook and otherwise pass it on to your friends!

Thank you!

(PS also place a comment to let us know you have! It’s nice to know that we have made at least a bit of a difference!)

Atheism is “Prejudice”

Pope Tries Science – Fail!

The Pope has tried his hand at evolutionary biology and failed miserably!

According to him Humanity is not a product of evolution…which is random…

Firstly we ARE undoubtably the product of evolution, the random mutation of genetic material and it’s non-random survival of the resulting phenotypes.

Maybe he should stick to what he is good at, hiding paedophile priests justified by divine authority to protect his own power?

Criticism at Easter? What a Shocker!

The head of the catholic Church in Scotland, Cardinal Keith O’Brien, will use his Easter sermon to criticize “aggresive secularism” according to the BBC. Full story here.

Let’s examine:

Firstly, the Pope said a similar thing last year. OK so these complaints are showing that those of us who don’t believe and reject their barbaric and unsupported doctrines are actually having an effect. This citicism is an indication that they are starting to get desparate and they are being shown to have less and less relevance to people!

Secondly it doesn’t change the fact we are probably right!

Thirdly, I love it when he states that enemies of Christianity want to “take God from the public sphere”. Firstly we are enemies of irrationaliy and unreason of which Christianity is just one (very large) example, and how can you take something out of the public sphere when it doesn’t actually exist in reality in the first place?

Next he criticizes equality legislation claiming it is discriminating againt the religious. I have to keep saying this. Stopping you from practicising bigotry and discrimination is NOT itself discrimination. You have had the freedom to be bigots for too long and the world is beginning to wake up. To use an anolgy, if you hare beating someone you don’t like with a stick we will take the stick off you and you then cannot turn around and claim that the act of taking the stick off you is oppressing you!

Oh well, this is Easter, or the rising of the purpotedly magical zombie day! For those that partake enjoy the chocolate!

Easter rabbit, rabbit, rabbit!

Is it Easter or the silly season? Difficult to tell the difference! Read more

Don’t Believe It? Don’t Tick It! – The Campaign Continues

The 2011 National Census is over!

The bunting is down, the paper forms have been sent off, the online versions have been clicked on, and all of the campaigns urging people to tick the “No Religion” box have ended…..haven’t they?

Well, no! Although Atheism UK’s Don’t Believe It? Don’t Tick It Campaign, was initially inspired by the National Census it was always intended to have a wider purpose, just look at the opening lines of the campaign description:

Have you ever had a form to fill in, part of which asks “What is your religion?” Then, as a result of being asked that question, you tick the box marked “Christian” or “Church of England” or whatever, simply because you were once christened, or think that is simply what you should put, even if you don’t believe a word of it?

Many people have and still do.

This is the point we want to make. Many people still tick the “Christian” box when they aren’t actually Christian. Some people think that they have to call themselves Christian because of some of the reasons mentioned above. What we are trying to achieve with this campaign is to change attitudes. Get people to realise that they don’t have to call themselves Christians, or get to realise that they actually aren’t Christains and that it is OK not to have a religion. We would also encourage those that don’t have a religion and don’t believe in gods or supernatural powers that oversee their lives to come out and call themselves atheists.

So while surveys and questionnaires keep coming out and asking people what their religion is, and whilst non-believers keep ticking the Christian/Muslim/Jewish boxes, we at Atheism UK will keep urging people…

Don’t Believe it? Don’t Tick It!

Council Pays Out Over School Religion Row

Full story from the Herald Scotland.

An atheist living on a Scottish island has been awarded £1000 compensation from his local council after a protracted wrangle over religious education at his eight-year-old son’s primary school.

Apparently he was concerend over religious elements in lessons, so he decided to withdraw his son from the RE lessons and the school tried to dissude him from doing so stating that his son would have to be withdrawn from other school activities.

He won an out of court settlement and has donated it straight back to the school. How about that for principles!
