Study. Absorb. Contemplate. Be a fearless atheist. Be a moral atheist

Fear you may not have lived? Many of us fear 'how' we might die; this being a reasonable moral foil crediting many good acts over a lifetime.

So goes the great (altered) axiom: 'Atheists fear nothing, except fear itself.'

A new study examines all robust, available data on how fearful we are of what happens once we shuffle off this mortal coil.  They find that atheists are among those least afraid of dying...and, perhaps not surprisingly, the very religious.

Ignorance is bliss, acid rain tells a different story. Be an active atheist, be heard.

Does your politician really believe in God? Does Donald Trump?

Religion and Business. These two opportunistic constants in society seek to etch their mark in every individual's livelihood.

To better understand the origins of both, one need only turn to Machiavelli's work: 'The Prince'.

Short, easily understood and utilized by many leaders as a basic guide to maintain status quo, The Prince gives us insight into why we see agnostic and atheist leaders appear to become more reverent in proselytizing religious ideas.

Read it for yourself. Be an informed atheist. Knowledge and understanding.
