One of the biggest challenges when interacting with the religious as an atheist science-based thinker is to get them to realize that they are inconsistent regarding the need for evidence in support of their opinions. Most of us, theist or atheist, carry on our day-to-day lives expecting to have sufficient evidence before accepting claims. However, the religious have a blind spot regarding the claims of their religions, which also tends to bleed down to views about politics and science (link)(link).
Human knowledge has progressed exponentially since the dawn of modern science. It is no longer reasonable to accept claims without sufficient objective evidence. The harm from religion, alternatives to medicine, conservatism, and all other false beliefs will be exposed on this blog by reporting the findings of science. This blog will also reinforce what should be the basics of education: History, Civics, Financial Literacy, Media Literacy, and Critical/Science Based Thinking.
