Believe it.
A New Jersey-based atheist group is starting the first on-demand TV channel dedicated to godlessness.
AtheistTV will be launching this summer with big plans to reach out to atheists, humanists, freethinkers, and folks who are looking for a way out of faith.
Members of American Atheists, the organization behind the endeavor, think it’s about time.
“There’s a glut of religious TV programming out there, from televangelists to Christmas specials,” spokesman Dave Muscato told The News. “But there’s no atheist channel. We wanted to fill that void.”

But there’s no atheist channel. We wanted to fill that void. Wait. What? Then why are there a million porn channels? And what, exactly, would you call today's network programing? An ode to godly living? Pffft...

Why does this remind me of “Air America” and the (pardon the pun) abortive “Church of Atheists” which fell apart in a matter of weeks?

It won’t be the first. I don’t think it will be a raving success.

Completely. Totally. 100% redundant with everything else out of Hollywood.
No change at all.
To: SeekAndFind
Better yet, Dave-—fill that spiritual void inside you with Jesus.

Day late and dollar short.
All the other networks have been doing this for years.
Hope a bunch of libs sink piles of money into this venture.

Shows like “Modern Family” are just propaganda for normalizing homosexuality.

A show about nothing.
Seinfeld already did that.

Don’t we already have that? It’s called cable television.

I don’t get it. If they don’t believe in something, then what is to talk about? I think talk will get old pretty quick just saying how much they don’t believe in god. If they don’t believe in god, why do they even need to talk about something that doesn’t exist in the first place?

Looking for a way out of faith? How hard can that be? No, actually, they’re just hoping to do as much mockery and ridicule as they can on this Earth.

My favorite programs on the new channel will be “Justifying Genocide” and “Nihilist Party Time”.

...folks who are looking for a way out of faith Because, you see, faith is oppressing them, hounding them, won't let them rest. "There's got to be a way out of this faith," they cry. And then, there it is: Atheist TV, the way to freedom.
And as a result, they are...
Saved!
Er, I mean...

Spokesman Dave Muscato told The News “...there’s no atheist channel. We wanted to fill that void.” Uh, Dave? If you "fill that void" it won't be atheism anymore.
