A recent survey on religion shows there are 34
million Americans who are classified as "Nones", that is they do
not embrace any of the "revealed" religions and the vast
majority of them are not Atheists. In actuality, the vast
majority of the "Nones" are actually Deists!
The survey shows a giant step forward for Deism in the fact that it
actually uses the word "Deist" and for the very significant raw
numbers it shows as representing the number of people who are
Deists. In reality, the number of Deists is actually
higher than the survey shows because the survey uses an outdated
definition of Deist. For a more accurate definition please see
our Deism
Defined page.

The Fraud of Faith-Healing
The Fraud of Faith-Healing
This page is intended to help people realize that the claims in the Bible that either directly promise healing powers or which go way beyond simply bestowing healing powers on the believer and actually promise Christians literally anything, which by definition includes the power and ability to heal, are nothing but false claims and a fraud.
The Bible verses that are being addressed here which promise believing Christians healing powers along with whatsoever they may ask for, believing, in prayer are:
Mark 16:17-18 which says, "And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover."
James 5:14-15 which says, "Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up;"
Matthew 21:22 which says, "And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive."
If any of the above ludicrous Bible promises were true there would be absolutely no need for any hospital, medicine, doctor, nurse, etc. Below is a list of organizations which by their very existence strongly proves the Biblical fallacy of faith-healing is nothing but an ancient ignorant superstition.
Muscular Dystrophy Association
Mitochondrial Disease Action Committee
ALS Association: Fighting Lou Gehrig's Disease
Addiction, Heart Disease, and Stroke
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society
Shriners Hospitals For Children
These are just a few of the many organizations that are doing real good by dealing with sickness and disease with their God-given reason, not with antiquated nonsense. If the Bible promises were true none of these organizations would be in existence.

Astronomers report a recent
study strongly indicates the Universe is infinite.
One of the reasons the freethinker Giordano Bruno was tortured and murdered by being burned alive by the Catholic Church during the Inquisition was that he said the Universe is eternal and infinite which violates the superstitions in the Bible found in Genesis. This new study vindicates Bruno.

Obama is making the mixing of church and state
worse than ever before.
Obama supporters forget that when all is said and done, Obama is just another politician. This article shows he's proving that he is nothing but a politician by doing more than any other president to mix religion and government, especially through giving tax-dollars to religious organizations.
