When Rhett McLaughlin of Good Mythical Morning left his faith, he felt like a man thrown overboard. Now he's put his journey to music. Here is my review of Human Overboard, released this September.

Evangelicals want to leave the world, not save it. Until then, all they want is to be recognized as the true protagonists of the universe.

Preachers like Pat Robertson can't stop making everything about Israel, even the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Here's why.

If trees are known by their fruit, then the God of evangelical Christianity has some serious boundary problems.

A preacher recently suggested people are leaving the Christian faith--or at least they're mentally dismantling it--because it's the cool thing to do. He has no idea what he's talking about.

One partner remains a devout evangelical Christian while the other left the faith. What will they do about the children?

After a long but necessary hibernation, Godless in Dixie is back at the podcasting game, this time using a more traditional format. Soon the blog itself will relaunch alongside a number of others on a new platform called OnlySky.

Lori Arnold explains what it feels like to be unintentionally "othered" by those still in the community of faith. It's less of a door slammed in your face and more of a screen door between you all the time, reminding you that you are still on the outside.

A pastor once invited me to talk to his congregation about what atheists wish Christians understood about them, fielding questions from the church afterwards. Here are the eleven things that came to mind first.

Today the church is waiting around for someone to swoop in and fix everything that's broken through divine cataclysm, removing all responsibility from them. As it turns out, the events they've been waiting for already happened a long, long time ago.

Back in my day, Hell was a lake of fire. But times have changed, and modern folks want a kinder, gentler Hell. Hell 2.0 is basically like putting yourself in Time Out...forever.

Responsibility for every soul condemned to Hell would fall squarely into the lap of the God of the Bible, were any of these beliefs actually true. You cannot absolve an all-powerful deity from something like this, nor does the Christian faith in its original form attempt to do so.

Here are seven reasons absolutely everyone---even those trying to believe the Bible---should reject the notion of Hell. And shame on anyone who feeds this horrific nonsense to children.

The Bible begins with a story disparaging curiosity and exploration, a mood it maintains for the rest of the book. But when you view the mind strictly as a tool of worship, you invalidate learning for its own sake. Free inquiry utterly depends on, well...freedom.

Virtually everything we are told Jesus said or did came to us from churches founded by Paul. As it turns out, this single detail explains more than almost anything else. Ultimately it was Paul, not Jesus, who founded the religion which eventually became the Christian faith.

A lot of prayers have failed to materialize over the centuries, but none so fantastically as this one. And as it turns out, this one was extremely important.

Do you know how many people the Bible says were raised from the dead on Easter weekend? Here's a hint: It's a more than the number of biblical scholars, even conservatives ones, who believe this story actually happened in real life.

Jesus said a lot of things which directly contradict what humanists believe, but composite characters like him say self-contradictory things quite often. Here were five times Jesus said things which modern humanists could have said themselves.

The historicity of Jesus is still up for debate among historians. But the historicity of Christmas? Not so much.

Exactly how much evidence would you expect to find proving that a poor, itinerant rabbi lived and died in an area of the ancient Roman empire which the authorities scarcely cared about? And yet we have a decent amount of evidence pointing to the existence of *someone* even if he wasn't magic.
