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.”

We wanted to fill that void

Godless people have a void they need filling. How ironic.

You can thank Pat Robertson for selling the Family Channel
(IFE-publicly traded) which was sold for 1.9 billion dollars and ultimately now in Disney’s hands with trashy programming. Not exactly family friendly (and probably not what the initial shareholders had in mind). Currently the 700 Club in the evening is sandwiched between shows that in my opinion do not even begin to promote family values. I guess it’s all about the $$$$$$$$$.

Because MTV and MSNBC and CNN aren’t enough.

The irony of unintended consequences will be the renewal of faith for people wandering in the wilderness of television addiction, boredom and political correctness.

Our Father has decided to use television to undo the sins of the past several decades by using these flame throwers to draw attention to the fire of faith.

God is Great.

There is no void of Godless TV.

All people have to do is watch the non-Christian channels.

Exactly. Their channel is far from being the first one dedicated to promoting ungodliness.

I love how he spoke of filling a void—atheism itself is a void.
