| Atheist - 320 sec
Atheists aren't that bad. This is NOT an argument for atheism... It's a defense of atheists.
This video received the award for "Excellence in Humanist Communications" from the Harvard University Humanist Chaplaincy.
James Randi said this video was "very cool!"
Michael Shermer said it was "very impressive."
Penn & Teller said, "If a god existed, this video would make him wish he were dead."
Dan Barker (author of "Losing Faith in Faith") said it was "very creative and powerful" and that it "makes a GREAT point!"
Greg Epstein (the Humanist Chaplain of Harvard University) said "it's a wonderful video!"
Stephen Ulh (author of "Imagine No Superstition") said that this video was "just wonderful for the cause of atheism."
David Mills (author of "Atheist Universe") said "I am absolutely addicted to watching this fabulous video, which has almost instantly become a legend in the freethought community. Zak has created the most intellectually and emotionally powerful multimedia presentation I've ever seen endorsing the atheist position. This is a proud moment for all rational-minded people. Atheist books can have wide-reaching influence, but I strongly suspect that Zak's video will influence a much larger audience than any atheist book ever published. The first few times I watched this video, I literally had tears in my eyes by the end. The artistic talent and technical skills required to write and produce this video -- as well as its core message -- have made Zachary Kroger my newest freethought hero. I'm not surprised at the HUGE reaction Zak's video has generated."
This video (among others) was also mentioned in the November 4th New York Times article "God and Man on YouTube."
Nobelief.com said this was "the best video of 2006."
NOTE- It has been brought to my attention that Marlon Brando, Mark Twain and Thomas Edison are not atheists. I looked into it, and my original sources were wrong. Sorry.
You can download the song used in this video at http://thegodmovie.com/cd.php (track 3)
Lastly, I am pleased to see how much debate this video has sparked, and I encourage everyone that wants to, to join in. HOWEVER, spamming will not be tolerated. Nor will racist, sexist, or other mean comments. Such behavior is not conducive to good conversations, and users who do not act accordingly will be blocked. If you want to insult people, go somewhere else.

| | My "conversion" to atheism - 484 sec
This is is short overview of my life as a Christian and why I became an atheist. This is mainly for those religious people who may state that I do not know what I am talking about, or that I have not studied Christianity in any real depth.
Yes - I know I was not "born a Christian" and highlight this fact later in the video. For brevity I made that statement instead of "I was born an atheist in a Christian family and raised with the values, rituals, and conventions inherit in such situations". The popular understanding of the phrase has the meaning I was looking for without having to go into a massive explanation as to why everyone is born an atheist. Besides, if I had gone down that route I would now be defending a "I was born an atheist" comment to all the idiot theists who visit. Furthermore, if anyone make a comment about this again I will give you the thumbs down - if you can't be bothered reading the descriptions of videos, it's your own fault.
There is a slight problem with the Youtube version - it cuts off one of two closing slides and the credit for the music, which called "High Drama" from the album "Pictures" by Timo Maas.

| | Top 80 Best Short Atheist Quotes About Atheism And Religion - 656 sec
I am an atheist, and these are my favorite short atheistic quotations, set to nice uplifting trance music! (NOTE: quotes were gathered from the internet, they have not been verified by me, some are probably misquoted or taken out of context, etc.)
MORE GREAT QUOTES:
Since it is obviously inconceivable that all religions can be right, the most reasonable conclusion is that they are all wrong.
- Christopher Hitchens
I am as firmly convinced that religions do harm as I am that they are untrue.
- Bertrand Russell
You are a good person because you fear damnation. I am a good person without obligation.
- Guillermo Garcia
Morality is doing right, no matter what you are told. Religion is doing what you are told, no matter what is right.
- Mencken
It is wrong always and everywhere for anyone to believe anything on insufficient evidence.
- William Clifford
I used to believe in god, until I reached the age of reason.
- George Carlin
If only god would give me some clear sign! Like making a large deposit in my name at a Swiss Bank.
- Woody Allen
Our god is vengeful! Oh spiteful one, show me who to smite and they shall be smoten.
- Homer Simpson
Dear lord: I present you this offering of cookies and milk. If you want me to eat them for you, give me no sign. Thy will be done.
- Homer Simpson
Blasphemy is a victimless crime.
- Unknown
god is dead!
- Friedrich Nietzsche

| | The Rise of Atheism - ABC plus Christopher Hitchens - 307 sec
Subscribe! - A large convention of atheists gathered today in Virginia, where men, women and children eagerly proclaimed their belief God does not exist.
While their views still may be the minority in the country, atheists have become more vocal and visible in recent years.
T-shirts, bumper stickers and even rap songs proclaim atheists' beliefs. Atheist summer camps now exist for children.
"Over the last 20 years," said Alan Wolfe of Boston College, "the number of people willing to tell people in surveys that they don't believe in God have pretty much doubled."
Books denying God's existence have topped bestseller lists, and Congress has its first self-proclaimed atheist, Rep. Pete Stark, D-Calif.
"A lot of respectable people are coming out and saying they are very happy to dispel the myths of the Bible," said Margaret Downey of Atheist Alliance International.
Some atheists said their profile has increased because of a rise in religious extremism, like the Islamic fundamentalism behind the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11 and the rise of the Christian right in the United States.
Gathering of the Godless
Meanwhile, the Internet has helped unite non-believers. In fact, this weekend's convention sold out, and had a waiting list of 600 people.
Besides listening to speakers, convention attendees can buy merchandise like a born-again-atheist hat, atheist-on-board signs for those with kids, or after-the-rapture mints.
They also had the opportunity to mingle with celebrity atheists like authors Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins.
On "Good Morning America Weekend Edition," Hitchens said American believers should recognize they live in a secular state.
"It would be better for them if they didn't give themselves false conciliation," he said. "My challenge is really to say, 'Can you name me a moral action or a statement that has been made by a believer that couldn't have been made by a non-believer?'"
And while the stigma associated with atheism may be diminishing, the majority of Americans say they would not vote for an atheist for president.

| | Christopher Hitchens: The Moral Necessity of Atheism (1/8) - 620 sec
A fantastic lecture by Christopher Hitchens about how atheism (and anti-theism) is not only a healthy belief system but a moral necessity. He talks about the very earthly nature of religion, the dangerous effect it is having on our world and the need for people to think for themselves.
Have a drink and get comfortable because Hitchens is going to explain it all to you just brilliantly!
