The Atheist Experience is a weekly show in Austin, Texas geared at a non-atheist and atheist audience. The Atheist Experience is produced by the Atheist Community of Austin.

The Atheist Community of Austin is organized as a nonprofit educational corporation to develop and support the atheist community, to provide opportunities for socializing and friendship, to promote secular viewpoints, to encourage positive atheist culture, to defend the first amendment principle of state-church separation, to oppose discrimination against atheists and to work with other organizations in pursuit of common goals.

We define atheism as the lack of belief in gods. This definition also encompasses what most people call agnosticism.

    The Atheist Experience 30.28 with Justin and The Cross Examiner
    2026/07/13
    In today's episode of the Atheist Experience, Justin DZ and The Cross Examiner tackle biblical authorship, Christian nationalism, and the delicate balance of deconversion within families.

    Anne in CA asks about the authorship and historical compilation of the Bible. Justin explains the documentary hypothesis, detailing how multiple sources were edited over centuries with political motivations driving the final compilation. The Bible wasn't written by single authors but assembled from various traditions. Understanding this academic scholarship reveals the human fingerprints all over what many claim is divine revelation. How does knowing the Bible's messy origins change how we evaluate its claims?

    Hidde in Netherlands struggles with whether to deconvert his religious mother, who finds comfort in her faith after losing her own mother to dementia. The hosts discuss balancing truth-telling with compassion, recognizing that not every battle needs fighting. Sometimes causing unnecessary pain to someone vulnerable isn't worth the ideological victory. What responsibilities do we have to protect loved ones from harmful beliefs versus respecting their autonomy and comfort?

    Thank you for joining us this week! We will see you next time!

    The Atheist Experience 30.27 with Godless Engineer and Jim Barrows
    2026/07/06
    In today's episode of the Atheist Experience, Godless Engineer and Jim Barrows confront callers defending biblical morality, slavery, and genocide!

    Jeremy in MS claims God is not evil but struggles when confronted with 1 Samuel 15:3 commanding the killing of children and infants. He admits God said it, then deflects by asking if the hosts believe in Satan and oxygen before abruptly hanging up when challenged on his reasoning.

    Courtney and Rachel in FL call to defend biblical morality. The hosts read Exodus 21:7-11 on selling daughters into slavery and Leviticus 25:44-46 on buying slaves. Rachel shockingly states she would sell her daughter to a rich man, comparing it to Jeffrey Epstein. They claim slavery was acceptable back then and defend beating slaves while appearing intoxicated. Where does this moral framework lead?

    Glenn in Australia discusses his stepson's dream before dying, interpreting it as having spiritual significance. The hosts struggle to understand how this anecdotal experience proves God exists. Glenn mentions PTSD medication and modern slavery, but the conversation remains unfocused and unclear.

    Marko in Canada argues God is not evil and the Old Testament law has been replaced by grace. The hosts challenge him with Matthew 5:17-19 where Jesus says he came to fulfill, not abolish the law. Marko claims Paul supersedes Jesus. When confronted with Numbers 31:17-18 and Deuteronomy 21:10-14 about taking virgin war brides, he defends these passages and refuses to answer whether he would kill a baby if God commanded it.

    Papo in Puerto Rico presents a contingency argument claiming the universe needs a necessary being. The hosts counter that energy is necessary, citing E=mc² and the first law of thermodynamics. Papo claims the first law was created at the Big Bang but admits he doesn't know what E=mc² means while trying to argue physics.

    Jase in OH claims aliens are proof of God, describing beings around his bed who disappeared when he cried out to Jesus. He references UFO researcher Joe Jordan. The hosts ask for evidence beyond personal experience, noting hallucinations feel real to those experiencing them. Can subjective experience prove objective reality?

    William in MD argues Christians don't need to follow Old Testament law, citing Acts 15. The hosts counter with Matthew 5:17-19 and reference Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14 restricting diets. They cite Galatians 3:29 showing Christians are Abraham's seed. William tries arguing different rules for different people but has to leave.

    Z in MA calls as a palette cleanser after intense previous calls. He shares his background with a Christian father and atheist mother, asks about agnostic versus atheist, and brings up Ouija boards as proof of energy or the afterlife. The hosts explain Ouija boards are manufactured by Hasbro and thank Z for his reasonable approach.

    The Atheist Experience 30.26 with The Cross Examiner and Godless Engineer
    2026/06/29
    In today’s episode of the Atheist Experience, The Cross Examiner and Godless Engineer dissect the dangerous rise of Christian nationalism! From state-sanctioned violence in Uganda to the dismantling of secular education in Texas, the hosts expose the consequences of codifying dogma into law. Can a society remain free when its legal boundaries are dictated by ancient scriptures instead of objective human rights?
    Tom in MI uses dreams and feelings of love as proof of a higher power. Godless Engineer defines love as a chemical process, while hosts critique why stories fail as data. Can we trust internal experiences when our biology is fallible?
    Gannon in CA claims Noah’s Ark proves the Bible. The hosts challenge his fixation on labels while debunking fraudulent archaeological claims about rock formations. If your evidence is a misidentified rock, what remains of your belief?
    Muhammad in India argues for Divine Command Theory, claiming child rape is "good" if God commands it. The hosts are stunned by this rejection of decency for religious consistency. How can a moral system be respected if it allows atrocities?
    Joel in CA believes in God because he "sees" the devil with his eyes closed. The hosts dismantle the design argument using stellar evolution and planetary formation. Can internal visions serve as a reliable yardstick for external reality?
    Will in Canada defends biblical slavery by calling God a "political gradualist." Hosts point out God made absolute laws for diet and sex but not for owning humans. Why would a perfect deity require centuries to condemn human ownership?
    Aeve Morningstar in Canada applies a feminist lens to theology, questioning if Mary's impregnation was sexual assault. Hosts debate legal definitions of battery and the harm of divine voyeurism. Is the biblical relationship with God inherently coercive?
