		<description><![CDATA[There seem to be almost as many definitions of atheism as there are atheists. Perhaps that&#8217;s because it is a proposition that frees the mind rather than constricts it. Many definitions of atheism embrace science as the framework for knowledge and understanding of our universe. Many adopt humanist codes of ethics and humanitarian principles as [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[[photopress:tree_.jpg,full,alignright]Atheists in Philadelphia have erected a &#8216;tree of knowledge&#8217; in the free speech area outside a courthouse, alongside a Christian nativity scene and a Jewish menorah. Sadly, and predictably, only the atheist celebration has attracted controversy and hate. And ironically, the tree has also highlighted the astonishing ignorance of those who seem threatened by it.

Well, not by any sensible definition&#8230; But let&#8217;s look at that accusation first. You have to admit, it&#8217;s very funny. Basically, it&#8217;s saying, &#8220;Well, you&#8217;re just as bad as we are&#8221;. Beyond the hilarity, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[[photopress:Hitler_Church_220.jpg,full,alignright]When challenged on Christianity&#8217;s dark and savage history of repression, torture and abuse, the more intellectually challenged sometimes retort with the long-discredited assertion that worse atrocities were committed by two infamous &#8216;atheists&#8217; &#8211; Stalin and Hitler. It&#8217;s a tired and feeble argument, deployed only by those too ignorant to know better. So why go over [...]]]></description>

When I explain that, no, I&#8217;m not agnostic, I don&#8217;t believe in god at all, the response is likely to be, &#8216;How can you be so sure?&#8217;.
