How To Spot A Hidden Religious Agenda
"As a book reviews editor at New Scientist, I often come across so-called science books which after a few pages reveal themselves to be harbouring ulterior motives. I have learned to recognise clues that the author is pushing a religious agenda. As creationists in the US continue to lose court battles over attempts to have intelligent design taught as science in federally funded schools, their strategy has been forced to... well, evolve. That means ensuring that references to pseudoscientific concepts like ID are more heavily veiled. So I thought I'd share a few tips for spotting what may be religion in science's clothing."

Don't Obey The Prophet
"The religion of islam was created by Muhammad, for Muhammad, not for the benefit of the people and not by any god. That is my conclusion. The Quran clearly indicates this.
The so called revelations are not written as if they were spoken by a god reading from an eternal copy of the Quran in heaven, as is claimed. Allah is mainly referred to in third person as if somebody else is describing Allah and his ascribed glory. That person is of course Muhammad himself. The Quran is a collection of his sermons and prescriptions as remembered by his followers.
The idea that the Quran existed in advance in heaven and that everything that happened to Muhammad played out as a kind of predetermined puppet theater by the hands of Allah during the 23 years that Muhammad recieved his sporadic so called revelations is simply not believable.
The revelations are also overly concerned with Muhammad's personal affairs and desires. Muhammad set himself up with a mandate for absolute power and demanded unquestionable submission. As with all people who have claimed divine guidance throughout the ages Muhammad had no evidence to present but his own words, as presented in the Quran. Those words are to be honest not very convincing at all. My hope is that muslims will persuade themselves to see this." (CreativeFreedoms)

Slavoj Zizek - Europe Must Move Beyond Mere Tolerance
The EU must unite its people in a common struggle, breaking the deadlock between anaemic liberals and impassioned extremists
Instead of bemoaning the newly emerging racist Europe, such statements announce, we should be self-critical, asking to what extent our own abstract multiculturalism contributed to this sad state of things. If all sides do not share or respect the same civility, then multiculturalism turns into legally regulated mutual ignorance or hatred. The conflict about multiculturalism already is one about Leitkultur: it is not a conflict between cultures, but between different visions of how different cultures can and should co-exist, about the rules and practices these cultures have to share if they are to co-exist.
(...)
Some months ago, a small miracle happened in the occupied West Bank: Palestinian women who were demonstrating against the wall were joined by a group of Jewish lesbian women from Israel. The initial mutual mistrust was dispelled in the first confrontation with the Israeli soldiers guarding the wall, and a sublime solidarity developed, with a traditionally dressed Palestinian woman embracing a Jewish lesbian with spiked purple hair – a living symbol of what our struggle should be.

Jesus Was Not the Messiah
A review of some of the messianic prophecies that Christians claim were fulfilled by Jesus. It reveals that many of the "prophecies" are nothing more than Christian fabrications, misquotations, and misapplications of passages in the Hebrew scriptures. By the Bible's own standard, then, Jesus was not the Messiah.

Collision - Christopher Hitchens vs. Douglas Wilson
COLLISION carves a new path in documentary film-making as it pits leading atheist, political journalist and bestselling author Christopher Hitchens against fellow author, satirist and evangelical theologian Douglas Wilson, as they go on the road to exchange blows over the question: "Is Christianity Good for the World?". The two contrarians laugh, confide and argue, in public and in private, as they journey through three cities. And the film captures it all. The result is a magnetic conflict, a character-driven narrative that sparkles cinematically with a perfect match of arresting personalities and intellectual rivalry. (http://www.collisionmovie.com/about/)
COLLISION is directed by prolific independent filmmaker Darren Doane
