World MS Day (WMSD) is the only global awareness raising campaign for Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Every year, the MS movement comes together to provide the public with information about MS and how it affects the lives of more than two million people around the world.

WMSD was launched in 2009 with over 200 events in 67 countries and has continued to grow every year. Last year saw activities taking place in more than 73 countries worldwide!

This year World MS Day (WNSD) is…

The following are actual commandments of the religion known as "Satanism." Its almost a entirely satire religion for most followers do not believe in an actual "Satan" and most of the rituals are done in mock of Catholicism - but the philosophy behind it is entirely serious.

2. Do not tell your troubles to others unless you are sure…

The Days When The Church Ruled

This is the first time I was ever in a city where you couldn't throw a brick without breaking a church window. Yet I was told that you were going to build one more. I said the scheme is good, but where are you going to find room? They said, we will build it on top of another church and use an elevator. This shows that the gift of…

This is the first post in a new series of personal profiles of Atheists, Agnostics and Humanists who are helping to make the world a better place.

Over the next few weeks I will focus on people who are making a difference for others. They are examples of Humanism in Action.

For the first part of this series, I've been lucky enough to get in contact with…

My wife and I both work and we have a two year old kid. This takes up a lot of my time so lots can happen in this world of ours without my noticing it. Like natural disasters, revolutions, whole continents disappearing into the sea and Bill 13, which is making its way through the legislature in Ontario.

Here's the way I understand it. Kids have been killing…

When is the last time you heard a religious person in America cry ‘persecution’ or claim their ‘personal beliefs’ are somehow an island in the psyche; that one’s personal, religious beliefs are completely isolated, and no one else’s business. Then, think about how many times you hear religious people claim that giving everyone the same rights, regardless of what gender they are attracted to, somehow takes something away from religion. Do they not see the contradiction? Your personal beliefs…

What I find most interesting about the evolution vs creation 'debate' is how the argument always comes down to faith vs proof. At one point, every creationist has to just fall back on "it's just what I believe." It usually comes in the form of "you can see design all around you so there must be a god," and the like. But, this is really faith. Too many Christians (every single one I've ever met, including myself before I woke up) confuse themselves with notions of proof of their creator's…

Dear reader,

Awhile ago I heard about Seth Andrews' $30,000 Atheist Charity Drive. Before that I had heard about the Foundation Beyond Belief and other pre-existing secular charities.

While thinking about this, an idea entered my mind. Why not reach out to actual Christian and Mormon missionaries and Atheist/Agnostic Charity…
