I'm an atheist but . . .

The messages keep coming: "We Protest the Pope: Want to join us?" asked the first, a few weeks ago. More recently, an invitation came to a Protest the Pope meeting in Richmond, south London, where ideas such as blocking the route of the Pope's cavalcade during his visit to Britain next month were discussed.
I should not be surprised to receive these invitations. I'm one of the few people in the world who could truthfully put the phrase "professional atheist" on their CV. For three years, I was deputy editor of New Humanist magazine, the publication of choice for UK humanists.
So why do I feel uneasy?

Falk’s new essay on the BioLogos site, “The Crutch,” clearly shows that the main goal of BioLogos is not to convince evangelical Christians that faith and evolution are compatible so that they’ll accept evolution, but so that they don’t reject Jesus.
