February 9, 2014
By Hemant Mehta
Just before Christmas last year, the Atlanta Interfaith Broadcasters produced and aired a half-hour documentary called Atheist in the Bible Belt that featured several local atheists talking about why they dont believe in God (among other things). Its worth noting that most of the speakers are atheists of color, which is a pretty nice change of pace. The video is now available online (with permission of the Black Nonbelievers).
Check it out!

(13,877 posts)think it's any chasm. Can one believe in a superior energy/intelligence...which I do because I didn't create myself...but don't call it God or some Santa in the Sky with Diamonds for Believers.
I celebrate superior humans who have eternal wisdom...many of whom are saying the same thing pointing to another being/energy of some kind. I also believe I have that energy within myself that perhaps with appropriate practices or energy committed, I too could become a superior being. (alas, not thus far.)
It's an interesting subject.

Kudos to this group.
