Atheism in Five Minutes - Teemu Taira

Independent Scholar
Ethan G. Quillen holds a PhD in religious studies from the University of Edinburgh. He writes about how Atheists have “lived” their Atheisms, from judicial battles and fictional representations, to the construction of “churches” through parody.
Description
This discussion will address this question in a unique way, using as an example a United States Supreme Court decision defending the religious right of an Atheist to use "profane" texts in the same way a Christian might use the Bible to justify his conscientious objection to fighting in the Vietnam War on religious grounds.
