Every Atheist Parent Needs: DIY.org
As an atheist parent, you know how important it is to cultivate and nurture your child’s love of learning. Unfortunately, public school systems don’t always see it the same way. One of my biggest fears is that my son will become disillusioned with learning through our lacklustre school system. I can’t rely on his teachers to prevent this from happening, unfortunately. I know it’s pretty much all on me. Learning is fun. It shouldn’t be a chore, and if it appears as though your

Guest Post: Atheist High Schooler Rants
Hey, hi-ya, what’s up (a Soul Eater a reference for the one other person who has watched it)? My name is Ryan (@RAtheistH on Twitter). I had a guest post on this site a while back and I thought I would write a follow up with more structure, I guess you could say. Since the last article, I have moved from rural Pennsylvania (the mini-Bible belt) to a suburban area in western Florida and moved up a grade (I’m a sophomore now). Now, despite living in a rural farm area for fourte

Every Atheist Parent Needs: Funology.com
In my own search for things to do inside, to reduce TV time, I explored Pinterest first. While there are some amazing science experiments and crafts that would be fun to do with kids, sometimes it took forever to find something that suited us. Pinterest is a great place to get started, but it wasn’t the answer. Searching further, I finally found funology.com and I have to say, this site feels absolutely endless with things to do. Funology.com boasts pages and pages of activit

This May Horrify A Catholic Mom, But As An Atheist Mom, I’d Be Proud
When I think of condoms, I think about the single invention could save our planet and our species. Generally, with a “bow-chicka-wow-wow” in the background. Thinking about a pecker poncho usually brings a grin to my face, even if it’s not on the chiseled body of Alexander Skarsgard, because in this tiny little banger balloon, lies the solution to many of the world’s most concerning problems… most importantly, preventing me from becoming a grandmama before I wanna be. The Cath

12 Amazing Online Activities For Growing Critical Thinkers & Their Atheist Parents
If we’re being honest here, half of these activities are things Godless Mom has had way too much fun with. Screw the kids, these are fun for everyone. If you absolutely have to share with the kids, though, these tools and games will help you mould scientifically literate children and help cultivate a love of learning and develop their natural curiosity. One thing I’ve noticed since starting this whole Godless Mom thing, is that so many people are illiterate when it comes to t

Every Atheist Parent Needs: John Green
My stepdaughter is smart as hell. She’s far ahead of her years when it comes to most things, and she’s able to put together shit that even eludes me and her father. If you give her any sort of tech, she’ll have it mastered by the end of the day. She’s absolutely brilliant, but she hates school, she hates the idea of learning, and she most definitely hates words like, “science”, “history” and “math”. She doesn’t understand that half the things she loves and is great at, are ma
