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.

Your Stories of Atheism Part 3 – A Fresh Atheist & Satan’s Dino Trick

I asked you guys to send me your stories of atheism a few weeks back and the stories continue to roll in. If you would like to submit your own click here. This came in from Chase and I found it so interesting. To read about what actually goes on in someone’s mind who’s discovering that there is little truth to what they’ve been told to believe, is so fascinating. This takes some serious bravery: I’m 26, and have been a really devout Christian all my life until about 6 months ago. Was a youth gro

Atheist Life Hacks: How To Date A Muslim Man

Atheists are bigots. If I had a pie for every time I heard that, I’d be Kirstie Alley.When I was in college – and I really have no idea how I did this – I worked at YVR airport. I had a full course load, and then went to the airport at night and cleaned planes until morning. I do not recall if sleep really ever happened. I do recall, however, being in such a sleepless stupor that my boss appeared to me as Hulk Hogan… but that’s a whole other story.I had the extreme pleasure of peeling the NHL’s

Nigeria – Religion’s Deafening Silence

GM Note: This is a guest post from Chris of Objectively Stupid. If you want to be a guest blogger at Godlessmom.com, contact me. Thanks Chris!


Many of you are probably logging in to view Godless Mom’s blog to read another excellent post by a woman who is bound by no deity, bringing her child up without bronze-age nonsense guiding her (how does she do it?!) and filling our Twitter streams with excellence alongside her Adonis of a husband. I base this latter assumption entirely on his taste in m

NFL Draft Day 2014 – Clearly A Day To Reflect On God

If you’ve been paying attention, you know Godless Mom is a Cleveland Browns fan. But wait a fucking second, you grew up in the great white north, and never, ever set foot in Cleveland, so how the fuck did that happen, Godless Mom?


Allow Mommy to reveal unto you the gridironish truth, my turfy tale of emotional torture. It was the 2007 draft. Up until this point in my life, I had loathed all pro sports because they were so time consuming and I could think of a million better ways to spend 3 hou

8 Parenting Tactics I Use That Will Surely Have Me Burning In Hell

Little known fact about Godless Mom: I once dated a child. Sure, he was a man child, but mentally, he was a goddamned (no holy) child.He moved in with me pretty quick because Godless Mom has an almost all-encompassing “yes” policy. When people ask me to try new things, I say yes. Nowadays there are caveats that protect my relationship, my son and my dog, but other than that, I’m all yes, all the time. I have a tattoo done with bamboo I got on the island they used to film The Beach, I free dove 3

The Fleshy Lusts Which War Against The Jeebot Soul

I had the pleasure, pardon the pun, of coming (sorry!) across this prolific pile of shit yesterday. It gave me a good case of the snickers, and I thought I would run through some commentary on it with you all, so we can point and laugh together. Call it a bonding exercise. I love you fucking assholes.The title of the article is “Every Guy’s Struggle”. You might think that it’s going to be an article about colonoscopies or something that truly applies to every man, but no, it’s just another way f

Every Atheist Needs: The Pusher

Originally, The Pusher was a song written about drugs and the difference between a dealer and a pusher. It was performed by Steppenwolf for the movie, Easy Rider and was a pretty big hit back when everyone wore hideous clothes. In the nineties, Shannon Hoon usurped the power of the Pusher, in just as hideous clothing, to sing about Christian evangelism.You may remember Shannon from the one-hit wonder band, Blind Melon, responsible for the bee girl who haunted every 90s teen’s dreams. Remember N
