The only people that knew of Kurek’s plan were an aunt, a close friend and a gay friend who was recruited to play his boyfriend.

Dudeism has sometimes been referred to as a "mock religion"

Dudeism

Dudeism has sometimes been referred to as a "mock religion",[1][2] though its founder and many adherents regard it as "real."[3][4]. Its stated primary objective is to promote a philosophy and lifestyle consistent with the original form of Chinese Taoism, outlined in Tao and Laozi (6th century BC), blended with concepts by the Ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus (341-270 BC), and personified by the modern day character "The Dude" (Jeff Bridges) in the Coen Brothers' 1998 film The Big Lebowski.[5]

Atheists know more about religion than the religious

Why is anyone surprised at the findings of a new survey of American religious knowledge, released last week by the Pew Forum, which demonstrate that atheists and agnostics know more about religion than the religious do? The only religious groups comparable to atheists in general religious knowledge are Jews and Mormons. Atheists even know more about Christianity than American Christians.

When Atheism Turns Ugly

DaveD — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 15:00:41 +0000

Fanatical atheism is no worse and no better than fanatical religion, though it may be more bitterly ironic. There is something pretty odd, dare I say hypocritical, about a bunch of people who call themselves “freethinkers” and “humanists” not only verbally abusing people of faith, but actually tearing up verses from the Bible as an act of protest, as they did on a pier in Huntington Beach, California Saturday morning. It doesn’t sound terribly humane to me, and I am quite sure that destroying texts, however much one may object to them, is the opposite of free thought.

Tea Party Muslims shatter all preconceptions

Muslims are defecting from both parties in droves because they have seen that they are both willing to throw them under the bus the moment it’s politically expedient. A portion of Muslims have become politically apathetic because they feel unrepresented, unwelcome and as if they are not part of society. But another portion of them are joining libertarian groups, agorist groups and voluntaryist groups.
