I’m sure almost everyone I know within a hundred miles of me will be at Skepticon this weekend, and I hope everyone has a great time there. It usually is every year. I won’t be there because I’m staying home to work on other projects. But this Sunday, I will take a break and once […]

On Thursday, my wife Lilandra and I drove her car to the little town of China Texas for a Religious Freedom Panel. It consisted of representatives from the Foundation of Contemporary Theology, Americans United for the Separation of Church and State, and the Freedom from Religion Foundation. Attendance was full.

I’ve been getting messages from out-of-state wondering WTF is going on with Texas’ politics, whether it is the governor shutting down Planned Parenthood and protecting their religious monuments, or the local cops plastering Bible slogans on their cars and telling secular citizens to suck it. To say nothing of what’s still going on in our […]

While in British Columbia for the 5th Imagine No Religion conference, I was interviewed by one of the locals. [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SQn8q89w5A[/youtube] Love the thumbnail he created.
