Atheists Who Don’t Want to Call Themselves Atheists

August 19, 2024 by Roling Kaloti in Opinion

I remember a couple months ago when Michael Shermer, a historian of science and an Atheists for Liberty advisory board member, tweeted an article written by Kate Cohen titled, “America doesn’t need more God. It needs more atheists,” which he directly quoted by stating: “Say it: ‘I’m an atheist.’ […]

Richard Dawkins Says He’s a Cultural Christian: This Isn’t News

May 9, 2024 by Roling Kaloti in Opinion

On March 31 this year, Richard Dawkins appeared in an interview with Rachel Johnson on LBC, where he made headlines after identifying himself as a cultural Christian. After stating he was “slightly horrified” to hear about when Oxford Street in London began promoting Ramadan instead of Easter, he explained his belief that England is a […]

A Response to Bret Weinstein on the ‘Mistake’ of New Atheism

March 6, 2024 by Roling Kaloti in Opinion

Recently, the biologist Bret Weinstein appeared on the Rubin Report to discuss his views on western civilization and how bad things have gotten with far left identity politics. The whole conversation is about an hour long, but I want to focus on one specific clip: “The New Atheists Made a Massive Mistake We’re Still Paying […]

Andy Ngo’s Trial Against Antifa

December 20, 2023 by Roling Kaloti in Opinion

Andy Ngo, a journalist and an ally of Atheists for Liberty, experienced a brutal attack by Antifa on June 29, 2019. In response to simply recording their activities, they punched him, kicked him, threw eggs, and threw a milkshake at his face. This led to his hospitalization where he also suffered a brain hemorrhage. Ever […]

Unsupportable and Desperate for Attention: Nick Fuentes and the Groypers

April 18, 2023 by Roling Kaloti in Opinion

“The trouble with Communism is the Communists, just as the trouble with Christianity is the Christians. They really do not believe in it and hence are hypocrites. All of them pant for money and hope to collar it by changing the rules. This fundamental pretense colors their whole propaganda. They have no more sense of […]

Book Review: Blasphemy by Alan Dershowitz

March 21, 2023 by Roling Kaloti in Opinion

Published in 2007, Blasphemy was written to counteract the common religious conservative claim that America was founded on Judeo-Christian values. A highly controversial topic, not to mention this is one of the many, many books written to defend the secular side of the debate, this was the first I had read on the topic and […]

Book Review: The War on the West by Douglas Murray

January 31, 2023 by Roling Kaloti in Opinion

The War on the West by Douglas Murray. This is, as far as I know, the eighth book by the author. If you’re familiar with Murray, then you’d know he’s been the subject of a lot of controversy, focusing on topics such as Islam, immigration, transgender ideology, and, most recently, his support of Ukraine. I […]

The Defamation of Christopher Columbus

November 7, 2022 by Roling Kaloti in Opinion

There has been a lot of hate centered around the explorer Christopher Columbus. No denying that, right? Ever the since the 2020 riots following the death of George Floyd, many protesters and activists have been tearing down public statues of historical figures they deem to be evil white supremacists. Columbus, amongst many others, has become […]

The Secular Right Isn’t Really New…

September 20, 2022 by Roling Kaloti in Opinion

I remember when the whole concept of a conservative, or at least right-leaning atheist, came across as a foreign concept. Back in 2014, the non profit organization American Atheists was disinvited from CPAC, which was the topic of a few opinion columns discussing how unwilling conservatives have been to accepting atheists. It’s ironic that nowadays […]

In Defense of Dawkins

June 24, 2022 by Roling Kaloti in Opinion

In the past year, biologist and author Richard Dawkins has become the target of heavy criticism regarding his tweets on transgender people. Dawkins, who is best known as one of the “Four Horsemen of the New Atheist movement and for his best-selling books, The God Delusion, The Blind Watchmaker, and Outgrowing God, exposed a contradiction […]
