Aron Ra at the Orange County Freethought Alliance. While attending the OCFA a couple weeks ago I had the distinct pleasure of running into Aron Ra. If any of you follow youtube I’m certain you already know who he is. He is well-known for his scientific explanations slamming the very idea of intelligent design and …

For those of you who don’t know she is a singer/songwriter from Australia. Her music is quite simply amazing! She’ll be playing in New Orleans in the American Humanist Conference the first week of June if any of you are in that area. Show up or you hate the troops! Base: We are still attempting work …

My name is Paul Loebe and I am a Marine Sergeant. I am stationed at Camp Pendleton and I am an atheist. I’m working on this: In the beginning I spent a quarter century of my life heavily involved in church as a Bible-thumping believer. Then came the fateful day when I began to compare …

Just before the camera started rolling, I started the set up: “The best part of any YouTube debate is always a Q & A session. It’s a bit more intimate, and honest discussion starts happening. So let’s get a mix-mic out there, for some Q & A” Congratulations to the Riddlehoovers! That’s enough Q & …

A local FastSigns store refused to print this sign: Yeah. Nothing in there attacking religion at all. It’s simply ‘atheist’. That one word. What the hell? They eventually changed their minds, after my team member fired off an angry response to this: From: FASTSIGNS 243 Sent: Wednesday, March 28, 2012 10:04 AM Subject: MASH banner …

I’ve previously posted about the strange proselytism that John Kieffer endured at Fort Bragg in the 1970′s. Mandatory ‘born again’ day, he called it. Sounds familiar. Well, John is driving back up to Fort Bragg for Saturday’s groundbreaking atheist festival. But he has one thing to do before he can be on his way. He …

Can you spot who? Hint: it’s the ‘building’ that looks like Macaulay Culkin. Jason Torpy from MAAF just sent me this. I laughed like a bastard. He said it was in response to the deafening silence coming from the chaplaincy at Fort Bragg. Not a single one at Fort Bragg seems to want to speak …

I fought very hard for this to happen at the festival this weekend. We went back and forth for several months. The ‘pro-starvation’ camp has prevailed. The idea was simple. Our festival is already paid for, via a generous donation from the Stiefel Freethought Foundation (directly deposited into our accounts at American Atheists). So here …

How has the massive atheist festival on a military base not broken through to network television news? The awesome stuff at Reason Rally probably had something to do with it. But that’s over now – so please help us get the word out – now! Finally, MSNBC has some meaningful coverage: After a sometimes painful …
The free festival on Fort Bragg's Main Post Parade Field was a massive success! Expect updates, highlights, and other footage over the next few months.
UPDATE: A second festival is in the works for Camp Pendleton - a large Marine Corps base near San Diego, CA. Summer 2013
