À propos de cet audio

 The Atheist Experience is a weekly show in Austin, Texas geared at a non-atheist and atheist audience. The Atheist Experience is produced by the Atheist Community of Austin.

The Atheist Community of Austin is organized as a nonprofit educational corporation to develop and support the atheist community, to provide opportunities for socializing and friendship, to promote secular viewpoints, to encourage positive atheist culture, to defend the first amendment principle of state-church separation, to oppose discrimination against atheists and to work with other organizations in pursuit of common goals.

We define atheism as the lack of belief in gods. This definition also encompasses what most people call agnosticism.

  • The Atheist Experience 30.06 with Justin and Godless Engineer

    The Atheist Experience 30.06 with Justin and Godless Engineer
    Feb 9 2026
    In today’s episode of the Atheist Experience, Justin and Godless Engineer explore the blood-soaked roots of the Bible, challenge the validity of biblical inerrancy, and play a game of "Infallible" to highlight scriptural contradictions! From the ethical horrors of Esther to the "Jesus mode" of logic, the hosts invite believers to defend a deity whose morality seems stuck in a loop of violence and non-consensual interactions.
    Eric in CA asks about the hosts' deconversion journeys. Justin shares how he continued living his life, even performing weddings, while John describes creating an online persona to avoid family conflict. Is isolation the only way to find peace?
    C.J. in MA faces believers using "Pearls before Swine" rhetoric. The hosts suggest using 1 Peter 3:15 and Hebrews 6 to flip the script. By putting pressure on the believer, can you expose their fear of debate?
    Ben from Canada struggles with identity thirty years after losing faith. Justin explains that secularism allows you to choose your own destiny and value. Can realizing that worth is chosen help a person finally find peace?
    Ben in CT seeks advice for debating his Catholic brother. The hosts suggest the brother's persistence indicates internal doubt. Can using "Mary was raped" and Old Testament facts force him to confront his creed?
    Sands in AZ argues teaching religion in school exposes kids to diverse views. John warns that nationalists would abuse this to prioritize dogma. Can exposing scriptural contradictions serve as a vaccine against indoctrination?

    The Atheist Experience 30.05 with Secular Rarity and The Cross Examiner
    Feb 2 2026
    In today’s episode of the Atheist Experience, Secular Rarity and The Cross Examiner dismantle the legal myths of Christian nationalism and expose the tribalistic roots of biblical law. From the dark history of slavery in the Levant to modern-day "persecution" complexes, the hosts challenge believers to provide evidence that justifies merging church and state!

    Mason in OK argues the Bible guides morality. Hosts pivot to laws regarding chattel slavery in Leviticus 25, questioning why a good deity endorses owning people. They challenge the reliance on tradition to mask biblical cruelty. How does one choose which divine commands to follow?

    Emmanuel in TX proposes a theocracy where non-believers are taxed to incentivize conversion. Hosts identify this as a violation of the First Amendment and Establishment Clause. They warn against discriminatory policies that create second-class citizens. Would a just society ever benefit from state-sponsored religious extortion?

    Mike in SC fears hate speech laws are tools for Christian persecution. The Cross Examiner clarifies that hate crime enhancements require criminal acts and intent, not just offense. They debunk algorithm-driven misinformation regarding religious suppression. Is the perceived war on faith just a result of confirmation bias?

    Moises in CA questions the need for proof and miracle claims. Hosts apply theological non-cognitivism and note that miracles lack reliable eyewitness accounts. They also explore how faith healing leads to medical neglect. Can a story be a reliable pathway to truth if it cannot be verified?

    James in OH critiques states' rights rhetoric using the Articles of Secession. Discussion moves to the Insurrection Act and the dangers of religious exemptions in child protection laws. They highlight the struggle against abuse permitted by dogma. Will legal systems ever prioritize children over ancient dogmas?
