What do you want to ask an Atheist?  Fill out the form below or submit your question online

By Jim Downard

What is the silliest question you’ve been asked about atheism (in general or yours in particular)?

So far I haven’t been asked any really silly questions.  I mean that.
There have been those that are packed with presumptions, of course, but they haven’t been frivolous inquiries.  It’s perfectly understandable that people steeped in a religious framework would be puzzled at how others can get along just fine without their props. However, they ought to have realized that given that all religions are minority ones, with beliefs differing so widely that the existence of atheists are a minor sidebar in the landscape of uncertainty about what is “true.”
What questions do you have for Jim Downard about atheism?

He's always been a history and science buff (getting a bachelor's in the former area at what was then Eastern Washington University in the early 1970s).
