Following the debacle in which CNN ran a panel on atheism without any atheists, CNN has a follow up in response to the outcry actually including atheists. First, a heavily edited interview with the world's greatest scientist, Richard Dawkins:

Then, a panel discussion with Ellen Johnson, president of American Atheists (and one-time CASH guest speaker):

Here is part two of the series. This is the more controversial part, I believe, because it features a panel of three non-atheists, two of whom show impressive amounts of bigotry. If you watch ESPN at all, you'll recognize Stephen A. Smith, who proves to be the rational and cool-headed member of this panel. Yes, re-read that sentence, Smith was the rational and cool-headed one. Anyways, here it is:

The following video was posted about a week ago, and its creator had all of his accounts deleted and videos removed.

Since he was only displaying quotes directly taken from the Koran, and he has frequently criticized Christianity in the past, it seemed like a harsh double standard. So in a display of solidarity and protest, several people reposted the video. In addition, it has started a mild controversy over censorship on websites with user generated content. If you're interested in that angle, you can check out this story.

Here is episode one of a webseries called "Mr. Deity", on the creation of evil. Pretty funny, I'll have to check out the other episodes some time.

As one of our members said on the CASH e-mail list:

Brian Flemming, the guy behind "The God Who Wasn't There" (available on
DVD from CASH!), gets interviewed by a miscellaneous screaming head on
Fox News about the Blasphemy Challenge, the YouTube-based campaign that
gives a free DVD to anyone who posts a video of themselves denouncing
the Holy Spirit - according to a passage in the Bible, that's the only
unforgivable sin.

Flemming doesn't pull any punches, but he really wins this one by
keeping his cool. It's especially noticeable when the news jockey shouts
"Why are you so angry?!" Another ironic thread he doesn't get a chance
to pull on is that the guy accuses him of "manipulating" kids by
offering them a free DVD. What, exactly, does the so-called "torture" of
religion do to kids by offering them eternal paradise? The best line is:
"I think that atheists can play basketball too."

Religion will soon instill in you a renewed sense of purpose. Also, it will soon instill in you a renewed sense of fear, a renewed sense of guilt, and a renewed sense of shame.
