The Triangle Freethought Society is a perfect example of a secular community doing their part to normalize non-belief in America.Perhaps I’m a little biased, because half of their upper echelon joined our event staff. That happened in October, when very few people took us seriously. Our own local secular community, the Fort Bragg chapter of …

CNN’s Dr. Wendy Walsh Claims Atheists Die First
What the hell is wrong with people? Dr. Wendy Walsh says “…it doesn’t mean that science has the answers for everything… Most studies on survivors show that atheists die first. Because if you don’t believe in something super-natural, how can you imagine that you yourself have supernatural abilities enough to survive?” Batshit crazy. So, science …

Greg Epstein, Harvard’s Humanist Chaplain
An influential Chaplain has joined our lineup. Is it possible we are approaching legitimacy in the eyes of Fort Bragg? Let’s hope so. “One billion people around the world, including over forty million Americans and over one in five Americans age 18 to 25 identify with no religion. Imagine the positive impact these people could …

Foxhole Atheist Justin Griffith’s reply to Fort Bragg Commander
***Attention Readers*** The following is my reply to Colonel Sicinski, the Garrison Commander at Fort Bragg.

Nobody On Our Lineup Has Been Banned From Army Events
This is another entry in the The Great Rock the Fort Swindle – exploring the disparity between the support for Rock the Fort and the Rock Beyond Belief. Franklin Graham is the driving force behind the Billy Graham Evangelical Association, who co-sponsored (along with Fort Bragg) the Rock the Fort event. He has previously been …

Nate Phelps – Son of ‘God Hates Fags’ Fred Phelps – joins lineup
“THANK GOD FOR DEAD SOLDIERS” A sign commonly held up by the Westboro Baptist Church as they protest at the funerals of Soldiers. Recently, the Supreme Court upheld their right to continue to do this. WBC is largely comprised of a single extended family, the Phelps family. Fred Phelps is an aging hate-mongering idiot who generally …

The Great Rock The Fort Swindle
Side by side comparison of the inequalities in the culture clash at Fort Bragg Today I saw too much disinformation about the situation on the ground here. The articles clearly needed to be written, because people are starting to swallow some major shall we say… ‘unfounded assumptions’. The Great Rock the Fort Swindle is a living …

Rock Beyond Belief in Fall 2011…? Maybe.
Stringing along quite a few popular and busy people for 5 months, dangling a unique opportunity in front of them, was certainly never my intention. It was unfortunate and disheartening that the last minute restrictions crippled us and we had to cancel. My initial reaction was to entertain the idea of a smaller venue being …

American Atheists Inc. Issues Statement of Intent to Fort Bragg
David Silverman, President of American Atheists, has been in direct contact with me since November, whole-heartedly supporting the Rock Beyond Belief festival. Given the recent issue about Fort Bragg telling reporters that our lineup hadn’t submitted a curious thing called a ‘Statement of Intent’, David instinctively issued an organization-wide ‘Statement of Intent’ to support us. …

Richard Dawkins issues Statement of Intent to Fort Bragg
I’ve been approached by a number of reporters asking a peculiar question. About half the time they only ask about our headliner, Richard Dawkins. “Fort Bragg says that the people in your lineup didn’t issue a Statement of Intent to them, a letter saying that they were actually coming. Why not?” Well, they never asked for one. …
