Links: Atheist Resources
 
American Atheists - The source for Atheists. Founded by Madalyn Murray O'hair, the woman who first challenged prayer in public schools in the 1960s, AA is the cornerstone of the Atheist fight to keep freedom of religion as freedom from religion, and to keep our rights as secure as the fundamentalist Christians' rights are.

 

The Secular Web Internet Infidels - The Secular Web, as they're called, is another key source for Atheists and the like, Internet Infidels has a database of literally thousands of essays, papers, transcriptions, and other educational materials. Most notable are the II Forums, in which Atheists, religious folks, and everything in between come to debate. ("Debate" often leads to banter, argue, fight, battle, and wage war... but it's always informative and often entertaining.)

 

The Skeptic's Annotated Bible - This is perhaps THE finest source of Biblical contradictions, and it's a lot more. The entire King James Bible is reproduced here, every verse of every chapter of every book, for easy and clickable reference. Contradictions are pointed out and annotated where they occur, as are acts of cruelty by God, injustices, absurdities, intolerances, insults to women, false prophecy, and much more. Even science and history go head to head with the silliness of the Bible. Atheists who have worked to learn more about the Bible than our fundie friends (it doesn't take much) probably have an online source they reference regularly. Well, replace it with this one! No more searching back and forth: this has it all annotated the way we need it to be. As a bonus, the Book of Mormon and the Koran are also annotated in this fashion..

 

The Happy Heretic - Judith Hayes, noted Atheist writer, says that her grandfather was a Lutheran minister, her father a Lutheran pipe organist, and she an Atheist... "Now that's my kind of evolution!" Judith's site is fun to visit and, like any good Atheist resource, enlightening.


 

Military Association of Atheists and Freethinkers - "There are no Atheists in foxholes," goes the old saying, but the M*A*A*F is very outspoken against such an idea. This is an organization of active duty and former military personnel who are or were Atheists, Freethinkers, et al., and who object to such a divisive statement as that. While the military continues to use our tax dollars to fund chaplains who make such claims that Atheist service members aren't truly Atheists, the M*A*A*F strives to fix this glaring problem.
