Bad Guys

No, all religious people are NOT bad guys. Most, in fact, are rather nice. This is a special page dedicated only to those religious sites who are, in my opinion, less than moral. Read more about bad guys→

Pledge of Allegiance

There's been a lot of talk about the Pledge of Allegiance these days.

School Prayer

No doubt about it. Prayer in schools is a controversial issue, and one with a good deal of heated rhetoric -- with little understanding. What are the facts behind this controversial practice?
