An increasing number of couples, married or not, are ensuring they don’t let faith, or the lack of it, come between the sheets and their lives …

Religious supergroup forms to smite Comedy Central’s Jesus Christ project
It’s not on the air yet. It’s not shot yet. There’s no pilot yet. Hell, there might not even be a script yet. But Comedy Central developing an animated project about Jesus Christ has the biggest names in the TV watchdog business forming a Super Best Friends protest super-group to preemptively smite the show.

Brain shuts off in response to healer’s prayer
Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), Schjødt and his colleagues scanned the brains of 20 Pentecostalists and 20 non-believers while playing them recorded prayers. The volunteers were told that six of the prayers were read by a non-Christian, six by an ordinary Christian and six by a healer. In fact, all were read by ordinary Christians.
Why Atheists Should Do Jury Duty
I have. Trust me … you don’t want to go before a court of your peers. Ever. Well, unless maybe they’re atheists? Nah, not even then.
