Debunk the myth that religion is the moral backbone of society

The History section and the Victims section already debunk this myth as far as
I am concerned.

Debunk the lies that some religious folk find morally acceptable to spew

Many fundamentalists often tell lies to promote and defend their faith. Nazis being atheist is one such lie commonly told to the sheep. Another lie is the claim that atheists are immoral because they do not believe in a god. This site will be used to debunk the lies that spew from such 'moral' dishonest theists.

Help promote Atheist and Freethought media

Of course, this website is not just for me - it is for others too. I intend to use this site to help promote atheist websites, articles, essays, books etc.
All I ask (I don’t demand) in return is for a link back to Atheist Resource.

Edge.org - The Third Culture

A collection of writings by scientists and philosophers who use digital media to bypass editors and journalists to bring the truth to the people. Created in 1988 as a branch of the Reality Club, their motto is: to seek out the most complex and sophisticated minds, put them in a room together and have themselves ask each other the questions they are asking themselves.

Fifty simple proofs for the non-existence of god, such as:

Jesus is a jerk

What if Jesus tells stories that are completely untrue? For example, take Matthew 4:8 as an example:

Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor.

The problem with this story is that the earth must be flat for it to work. From a tall mountain it is impossible to see "all the kingdoms." Even standing on Mt. Everest, the tallest mountain on earth, the farthest you could see is 250 miles to the horizon [ref]. Yet we know that at the time of Jesus, there were thriving kingdoms in China, India, South America, Europe, etc. So clearly this story could not have happened. People who are dishonest like this are jerks.

Imagine Heaven

Everyone's fabrication of heaven is different. For some it involves harps and clouds and halos. For others it involves hot and cold running virgins. For some people, the actual body is transported magically to heaven as described in the "Left Behind" books. For others, your "soul" floats out of the body and makes it way to St. Peter. And so on. People make up anything they like, because heaven is a completely imaginary place.

Notice your church

No where in Jesus' teachings is it suggested that Christians should buy land and build church buildings with indoor basketball courts. No where does Jesus suggest the accumulation of billions of dollars in gold bars. Chistians are supposed to sell everything and give the money to the poor, according to Jesus. Yet church congregations do exactly the opposite on a regular basis. Building a large sanctuary and indoor basketball courts is an exercise in vanity, ego-boosting, selfishness and human pride. These attributes are the opposite of Jesus' prescriptions and everyone knows it.

Church congregations regularly and willfully ignore Jesus' teachings because they know that Jesus is imaginary.

Infidels.org - The Secular Web

Socially, we seek an atmosophere of intellectual freedom and tolerance, for the promotion of knowledge and understanding through the avid pursuit of philosophy and the scientific enterprise. We believe all people should be allowed, even encouraged, to hear all sides of every religious claim and choose for themselves, using evidence and reason rather than force, intimidation, deception, or any other underhanded tactic. Therefore, we believe governments must be entirely neutral, favoring none in this quest. This is called "separation of church and state," to which we devote an entire section of our library. And though we have convictions and beliefs of our own, and ought to be free to defend and promote them, our commitment to tolerance means we do not hold anyone else to a different standard: all should have that same freedom. This means that while we debate, even fiercely, in matters of philosophy, we should all cooperate in matters of peace and prosperity, tolerating each other's presence in the same free society. It is our dream that even people of different faiths, including nontheists, befriend each other and work together toward a better society of universal happiness, pursuing reason, science, and truth.

Ethically, we want to uphold the dignity of humanity by embodying honesty and compassion in our pursuit of the truth. The good of mankind is our greatest goal. And to achieve this, knowledge, reason, honesty, fairness, and understanding are essential. When Emma Goldman wrote that to disbelieve in the gods is at the same time to affirm life, purpose, and beauty, she meant it is precisely a human love of these things that drives and motivates us to cast away superstition and dogma, and that disbelief in gods does not mean disbelief in these cherished truths of the human condition. We follow where evidence and reason lead, rather than tradition, popular assumption, or ungrounded conviction. And when we do, we find no gods around here. But we do find, and come to value, life, purpose, and beauty.
