American Atheists 
    In Washington
    Ellen Johnson
    The president of American Atheists
    discusses the never-ending problem
    of religious-privilege amendments
    and tells of her press converence at
    the Capitol.
 

The Great and Late Church
    Arson Conspiracy Hoax
    Conrad F. Goeringer 
    Allegations of a conspiracy to burn
    black churches led to millions of
    dollars in government aid to reli-
    gion. Now it is clear that the “conspira-
    cy” was simply a social form of hys-
    teria.

    from the New Testament
    Frank R. Zindler
    The Twelve Apostles and the

    Arthur Frederick Ide

    Dr. Ide gives us the background
    and history of angels - the growth
    industry of the nineties.

Modeling God:
    Deferred Absurdity
    Tony Pasquarello
    Professor Pasquarello treats us to
    some delightful mental teasing as
    he teases apart the meaning - or
    lack thereof - of the god concept.
