"f there’s one person who is living proof that being an atheist has
nothing to do with being a skeptic, it’s Bill Maher. Touting himself as
being supremely rational in comparison to those “God botherers” and
Republicans, Maher has himself embraced antivaccine pseudoscience, other cancer quackery, and general pseudoskepticism about “Western medicine.” Nor is this the first time he’s embraced HIV quackery, either. Indeed, I’ve been pointing out for more than a decade now
just how much pseudoscience Maher embraces. Unfortunately, in some
circles, that doesn’t seem to matter. For example, in 2009 Atheist
Alliance International awarded Maher the Richard Dawkins Award, which was likened to Jenny McCarthy receiving a public health award."

This blog will also reinforce what should be the basics of education: History, Civics, Financial Literacy, Media Literacy, and Critical/Science Based Thinking.
