In this video, we're diving into the surprisingly humorous history of Christmas from an atheist perspective. Did you know the Puritans actually canceled Christmas all the way back in 1659? They viewed it as a pagan party filled with drunken revelry and dubbed it 'Foolstide.' And honestly, they may have had a point!Today's Christians often proclaim, 'Jesus is the reason for the season,' but history reveals a different story. December 25th was originally the date of a Roman solstice festival, complete with Yule logs and evergreens—symbols of life that predate Christianity by centuries. The Puritans even fined those who dared to celebrate this so-called holiday!So, how do we, the atheists, celebrate Christmas? We embrace its joyful, pagan roots! The lights, the music, and the gift-giving all symbolize connection and joy, free from religious dogma. Join me as we reclaim Christmas—not for a god, but for us!This year, I want to hear from you: How do you celebrate Christmas without invoking a deity? Share your stories in the comments below, and let’s spread the warmth of human love and connection during this chilly season. After all, who needs a savior when you can simply be human?👉 Want to support this podcast?

In this video, I’m on my soapbox debunking Christian nonsense and diving deep into the joys of being an ex-christian, atheist, and secular humanist. Join me as I celebrate the freedom that comes from breaking the chains of Christianity and explore the real damage it inflicts on individuals and society as a whole.This video is a compilation of some of the most impacting clips from my atheist podcast this year. Here, I tackle pressing issues like the bigotry and discrimination perpetuated by the Christian community, and challenge the absurd notion that consciousness can exist independently of the brain. Spoiler alert: there's no scientific backing for that idea!I also take a stand against misogyny, address the problematic views of various Christian denominations, and confront the concept of a homicidal God. Plus, we’ll debunk the many false claims Christians often make about atheists.With a humorous twist and a collection of my best clips, this video is designed not only to inform but also to entertain. I hope you find it enlightening and maybe even share a laugh or two! If you enjoy what you see, don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share for more content that challenges the status quo.

In this eye-opening episode, we dive into the comical absurdities that atheists face from Christians who cling to wildly inconsistent beliefs. Embrace doubt and defy dogma as I unravel the myth that atheism is simply a reaction to pain or anger. With over 45,000 Christian denominations, God’s ‘definition’ is as varied as ice cream flavors—each one crafted by humans rather than any divine decree.I challenge the logic: If God can allow Satan to wreak havoc (just ask Job), who’s really running the show here? This isn’t about trauma; it’s about reclaiming reason amidst a sea of loopholes. Let’s walk away from toxic narratives and trust evidence instead of ancient tales. We’re here to shred the myths and celebrate the freedom to question everything.Atheist podcasters often hear the outrageous claim of being on ‘Satan’s payroll.’ But let’s face it—if God doesn’t exist, then neither does Satan. It’s like getting a paycheck from a fictional company. Christians often gaslight with supposed ‘proof’ while ignoring the contradictions in their own scriptures. So, the next time someone accuses you of being angry at ‘God,’ ask them for evidence. Stay curious, challenge the lies, and let’s build a world grounded in reality. The truth is out there—are you ready to find it?👉 Want to support this podcast?
