Also from the About Us page: "Atheism is not a belief system. It is the acceptance that there is no evidence for the existence of any gods or supernatural beings." Not a belief system but based on a belief regarding evidence ... hmmm. Also neatly avoids the dictionary definition of atheism ... hmmm. Also from the About Us page: one of the site's aims: "... to demonstrate how atheism and atheists can provide a positive contribution to the community." Kudos for being up front about it. The evidence for Mann-made global warming is unequivocal.

I'm not at all convinced that being non-religious means that they can or cannot help you more than someone who is religious. There are too many factors at play in every individual case for that to be so. I am sure, for some people, non-religious support is indeed just what the doctor ordered, but for others this will simply not be the case. I, for one, needed to be able to measure the claims of the RCI against the Bible and classical Pentecostalism and later orthodoxy. Only the religious, i.e. Christians, were able to assist me in doing that, and then only those well versed in RCI beliefs. This is where people like Ian Thomason become such valuable assets to so many people. But once past that, this kind of Atheist network would have been great. Once I needed help to measure the claims of Christianity against Science and broader Philosophy, etc, then they would have been a big help I'm sure. I think that anyone who rejects God and Christianity would do well to see what these guys have to say and those who still believe should give them a big miss. |
