The Latest From Godless Mom...

This is secular living with a pulse: sweat, appetite, style, thought, beauty, decent lighting, a kitchen that gets wrecked on purpose, and a mind that stays gloriously unbound with bullshit. We write about evidence-based wellness, fitness, culture, sustainable living, philosophy, and how to build a life so honest and fucking good that no sermon, no guru, and no smug little deity could ever compete with it.

Atheist Life Hacks: How To Have Too Many Guilty Pleasures

Recently, I’ve been getting a lot of incredible compliments about my blog, my writing and everything else that I do as Godless Mom. I can’t even begin to express to you people what they all mean to me… writing is my passion and to have total strangers tell me daily how much they love mine, is indescribable.I’ve seen a lot of people let their head inflate though, even over just one or two nice comments and I hate that bullshit. People who take themselves too seriously are dull and boring. So, in

7 Things To Remember When Dating A Theist

I’ve dated theists before and I can tell you right now, they can be wonderful, loving and adventurous people and it’s just as easy to fall in love with a believer as it is an atheist.

In this day and age, most marriages will end in divorce, let’s face it. People will use any excuse to end a relationship. My favourite example of this is the episode

Madonna and Satan Set Their Sights On The Destruction Of Good

MadonnaHere’s a little fact about GM that could potentially drive a wedge between you and me: I loathe Madonna. It’s not because I find her offensive. It’s because she’s talentless and annoying. She can’t even fucking sing and somehow, because she twerked before we twerked, she’s a fucking legend. There’s nothing that she’s done that’s entertaining in any way more than a fart joke is or a boob slip. Can’t. Stand. Madonna.So, you love her. I get it. I mean, hey, the first person to dry hump a dud

Every Atheist Parent Needs: Magformers

You’ve all played with Lego. I still wake up early in the morning some days to sneak my son’s lego out of his closet and build a yacht or a ’67 Shelby in powder blue. You have to buy lots of the girly Lego to build a powder blue Shelby, but I’ve gone off topic. Already.Lego is so much fun because it becomes whatever the hell you want, no holy. You can build an airplane, a Seadoo, a brewery or a crack house, or anything else your godless heart desires.Shit, you could even build your own vision o

Atheist Life Hacks: How To Befriend a Killer

GM’s gonna get a little dark on you today. I’m feeling a little melancholy missing old friends and I thought I’d pay homage to one in particular.Have you ever had one of those friendships that lasts for fucking ever and goes so euphorically high and so deeply low and even when it’s stable, it’s still something that can barely be contained in your mind, in your heart or in your dreams? The mindfuck kind, the sort that leaves ugly scars and foaming anger and firey love and lust and longing that ma

Happy Friday Unbelievers! A couple of notes before I get started:1. My site was the target of a brute force attack and everything crashed twice. So, I have taken some steps to fix it all, including adding the new comment system, Disqus. Things should be faster and functioning now, still some bugs are needing to be ironed out though. Please bear with me.2. I’ve added two sections to my site, which are functional now for the most part. Up above in the menu, you’ll see Memes – this is where I will
