In case you're wondering what former American Atheists president David Silverman is up to, he's celebrating genocide.

The Christians who want “Thou shalt not kill” in every classroom have nothing to say about a Republican who called for murder.

In case you were wondering, yes, Richard Dawkins is still an anti-trans bigot.

Some Democrats go after their opponents for their ties to Trump. In Illinois, @govpritzker.illinois.gov is going after Republican Darren Bailey for being a Young Earth Creationist who doesn’t accept science. You love to see it.

Why the hell does Ed Sheeran think this kind of pathetic statement will absolve him of criticism?
I am not complicit. I have my personal views on this devastating conflict. Just because I choose not to speak publicly, it doesn't mean I don't have them, and it doesn't mean I don't care. Nor does it mean I don't support causes in my own, personal way.

Matt Bevin, the former Republican governor of Kentucky, was just arrested for contempt of court (over matters involving his personal life). According to one report, Bevin was "arrested while playing an extra on the set of a Christian film production." www.lpm.org/news/2026-09...

Christian Nationalists are now coming after your favorite childhood books... because the authors are Jewish.

Oh. My. God. Disgraced beauty pageant contestant Brittany Boltinhouse has just been announced as a judge for Miss Latina Tennessee 2026. She’s described as a “businesswoman and beauty queen.” (And not as a racist, MAGA, Andrew Tate-praising, anti-LGBTQ bigot.)

Christian Nationalist preacher Andrew Wommack says he knows "well over 50 people that have been raised from the dead" through his ministry. One preacher he knows in Uganda "emptied the entire hospital" of 100 people. (Wommack has no proof of any of this, naturally.)

A member of Satanic Reno just delivered an invocation at a meeting of the Washoe County (Nevada) Board of County Commissioners. It was perfectly innocuous. And yet this is how the crowd reacted during the prayer. www.youtube.com/live/KQcemgE...

I knew the Christian Nationalists at Liberty Counsel were racist. But my goodness, this is a WILD level of bigotry even for them. They're suggesting that a few primary wins for Muslims means we're getting closer to "State-sponsored ethnic cleansing/genocide."

Jadon MacCormack, the anti-LGBTQ Christian extremist who ran for State House in Connecticut, has lost his primary. Republicans petitioned to add someone to the ballot so Jadon wouldn't make it to November and drag other candidates down. The plan worked. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/connecticu...

Indiana's Christian Nationalist Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith says the age of the Earth is exactly "6,972 years old." He's only off by about 4,540,000,000 years. (via @rightwingwatch.bsky.social)

In a new essay, close-friend-of-Jeffrey-Epstein Lawrence Krauss says the biggest threat to civilization isn’t AI or nuclear bombs. It’s Muslims. Because old bigotry never dies.

This is ridiculous. The Wayne County High School Yellow Jacket marching band in Georgia was preparing their Salem Witch Trial-themed halftime show (which was approved last year). But after Christians complained, the band leader said they'd change the show.

Would anyone like to take a wild guess what this Christian pastor's "solution" is in response to... the existence of Muslims in Maine?

How much you can make slapping your name on an overpriced Bible? The latest financial disclosure form shows that the president made another $208,486 from the Trump Bible... on top of the $1,306,035 he made a year ago. My article from 2025: www.friendlyatheist.com/p/selling-sa...

Genuinely funny to me that Christian Nationalists furious about the birthright citizenship ruling are only mad at Barrett even though Roberts and Kavanaugh voted the same way.

In the first Sunday sermon at Pastor Jackson Lahmeyer's church after his affair became public and destroyed his congressional campaign, replacement preacher Randy Caldwell says "the devil had a plan to destroy this church." Right. It's Satan's fault. Not Lahmeyer's.

Whoa. Tony Spell, the pastor who held large, maskless, super-spreader church services during COVID, was arrested again. This time, he ran across a highway to beat up one of his critics. As one does in the name of Jesus. www.wbrz.com/news/pastor-...

Christian nationalist MAGA cultist Lance Wallnau says when God speaks to you, he sounds just like you, "because you are born again in His image." It's a very convenient way to believe whatever the voices in your head tell you.

Christian Nationalist liar David Barton and his son say key phrases from the Declaration of Independence were taken from sermons preached by John Wise. Turns out the phrases appear nowhere his sermons. The Bartons are lying. (Again.) warrenthrockmorton.substack.com/p/thomas-jef...

Lol. Scandal-plagued MAGA Pastor Jackson Lahmeyer has already deleted his Twitter account. Earlier today, he dropped out of his race for Congress following allegations of infidelity.

Despite qualifying for the GOP runoff, Lahmeyer is DROPPING OUT of the race, presumably to spend more time sexting other women.

MAGA pastor and self-proclaimed "prophet" Hank Kunneman shows off his new scale model Trump Parade. Right in front of a Taco Bell, because why not. (It's not a cult, though. Don't call it a cult.)

Thank goodness doctors and the courts cared more about a baby than its mother. She didn't want the baby to have a blood transfusion because she's a Jehovah's Witness. She lost the legal battle and the baby is now recovering well. www.irishtimes.com/crime-law/co...

Here's pastor and GOP congressional candidate Jackson Lahmeyer saying that yard signs for his campaign can be picked up directly at his church. So much for the Johnson Amendment.
