About AskTheAtheists.com

You're not going to de-convert anyone so what's the point?

The point is to provide a place where people who are interested can find out about atheism and atheists.

Even so, there is undeniably a hope amongst the people contributing to the site that it will in some way help to spread the type of world-view that includes atheism. And as such it might seem like a useless example of ‘Preaching to the Choir’. But that metaphor isn't completely accurate.

Every publicly available article, website, and discussion has a small but real influence on our discourse. People do change their minds. I believe that simply by being available this site advances the cause for reason in a modest way.

This site doesn't pretend to speak on behalf of all atheists, instead it tries to present a cross-section of atheist responses to common questions. If you're an atheist and you feel that your point of view isn't adequately represented in the answers given here then please help us fix that by getting in touch to volunteer your own answers.

If you'd like to be considered as an answerer for the site with a link to your website/blog or include a sample of your writing in the email itself.
