The Out Campaign: Scarlet Letter of Atheism

This page is outdated now. I wrote it when this site was first put online, I will be updating in in the near future.

Welcome to my Skepticism site I have accumulated plenty of information over the years that I intend to eventually present on this site. This is my first attempt at writing this style of website so it'll be interesting to see how it all pans out. I am writing from Perth, Western Australia so I will try to document relevant events taking place in this part of the world.

I am a strong supporter of Free-Speech and right now Australian citizens are facing the biggest threat to their freedom since the second world war, however this new threat is not from an outside source but from our own government the same people who are supposed to look out for our interests. This threat comes in the form of Internet Censorship. As a member of the Atheist Foundation of Australia, The Pirate Party of Australia and Electronic Frontiers Australia I feel at particular risk for being censored due to powerful opposition of my views and the views of those whom I associate with. Right now the two most powerful influences on government are Religion and the Copyright Lobby who both hold polar opposite opinions to myself. While they have the right to have stupid ideas they do not ever have the right to suppress the opinion of others. Therefore I also talk about political issues from time to time in particular the ever present threat of Internet Censorship where by a nefarious few would seek to control the voice of the people in an otherwise democratic nation.

I can be emailed at Dan@danscomp.net or comments can be left at the bottom of every article. You can also follow me on Twitter or Skype.
