Our Doors Are Always Open
First off, in a position of honor, we have the originator of COTG, Brent Rasmussen from Unscrewing the Inscrutable. Brent shares a significant tale from his Mormon youth and discusses how it opened his eyes to new truths about his religion.
In the Name of God
I'm not sure if I'm allowed to include this, since it's not from a blog, but it was submitted. There are no rules at carnival time, right? Polly Toynbee of The Guardian published a marvelous editorial in response to the terror attacks in London, calling for the removal of religion from public life.
In the Name of God...
No, that's not a mistake. We have two items with the same title. This one is by Seth at Spoiled Honey. A quiet discussion about religion turns into a raucus classroom shouting match in this glimpse into the life of a 13 year old atheist.
The Catholic Church in Nazi Germany
Austin Cline, the atheism guide at About.com, shares passages from Pope Benedict XVI: A Biography of Joseph Ratzinger by John L. Allen, Jr.. The piece discusses the role the church played in enabling and assisting the Nazis during the holocaust.
Atheism and Evolution
Aaron Boyden from Neurath's Boat evaluates the claim made by some that evolution has nothing to do with religion.

John B. of The Sharpener offers a scathing criticism of this Dutch filmmaker who was murdered by a Muslim who was angered by his work. It offers a very different perspective from what you might have seen in the mainstream media.
What ID and New Coke Have in Common
Is Intelligent Design a dying fad? Is classic creationism returning to the forefront? These are the predictions made by Pat Hayes at Red State Rabble.
Blind Faith - It's Not Just for God - A Polemic
A Rational Being compares religious fervor to unquestioning patriotism and other forms of blind faith, looking at the source and results of this phenomenon.
