  • The Physics of Morality: Why Being Good is a Logical Necessity (No God Required) (Richard Carrier)

    #atheism
    #religion
    #morality

    In this interview transcript, Richard Carrier explains how science and game theory can provide a logical foundation for human morality without relying on religion. He compares his "goal theory" to the work of Sam Harris, arguing that while both seek an empirical basis for ethics, Carrier offers a more rigorous philosophical framework for determining life's objectives. Carrier asserts that objective moral facts are discoverable through a rational understanding of social systems and human psychology. He also critiques the current political climate in the United States, linking irrationality and disinformation to a decline in societal well-being. Throughout the discussion, he emphasizes that his unique background in history, math, and philosophy allows him to approach these topics with disciplined, analytical precision. Ultimately, the source highlights Carrier's belief that rationality and informed reasoning are the essential tools for achieving a flourishing, moral society.

  • Leaving Islam with Nushuz.

    #atheism #religion #islamism

    We are featuring Nushuz, a writer who publishes under a pen name — not for style, but for safety.
    On our blog Scientists Free From Religion, we’ll discuss the author’s work, the book’s core arguments, and the lived experience of leaving Islam, a system where dissent can carry real personal risks.

    We will examine the psychological, social, and political pressures that surround apostasy, as well as the intellectual journey behind rejecting dogma in favor of free inquiry.

    A pen name here is not a literary flourish — it is a professional identity used to publish openly without exposing the author to retaliation.
