Here's a video on YouTube that introduces the Richard Dawkins Foundation.  On the right hand side are other Dawkins videos on YouTube.

His website is well worth checking out also: http://richarddawkins.net/home

Cheers.

Julia Sweeney, comedienne, has released a CD of her famous "Letting Go of God" talks, and this webpage offers 3 samples from it:

On "Intelligent Design"  http://www.juliasweeney.com/letting_go_mini/audio4.html
On Deepak Chopra http://www.juliasweeney.com/letting_go_mini/audio3.html
On Santa Claus http://www.juliasweeney.com/letting_go_mini/audio2.html

You may have encountered Sweeney on "This American Life" who featured her in one of their most-popular episodes, "Godlessness in America."

Please sign this petition that protects our "first freedom" to choose our own religion or not choose a religion at all.

All of us, secular or religious, should want this first article of the Bill of Rights to be protected.

The Washington Post and Newsweek have joined forces to create a website to discuss issues of faith and secularism.

The main page is here:  http://newsweek.washingtonpost.com/onfaith/

Sam Harris is one of their panelists who will keep a blog on the site, here:

http://newsweek.washingtonpost.com/onfaith/sam_harris/2006/11/faith_and_an_undivided_world.html

Should be interesting!

Reverend Joel Hunter, in Florida, resigned his position as President Elect of the Christian Coaliton (CC), because he couldn't get the organization to care about poverty or the environment.

All the CC cares about is abortion and anti-gay rights.

PZ Myers mentions this here, and has a link to a newspaper article about it:
