Prying into your dirty, dirty secrets

By pharyngula on January 24, 2011.

All you godless folk: some busybody wants to know about your sex life. Go ahead and tell them in this survey:

This is a short survey about how your sexuality has developed over time and how it has changed in relation to your lack of belief in a god. The research is being conducted by Dr. Darrel Ray, author of The God Virus and Amanda Brown at the University of Kansas.

This survey is for ATHEISTS, AGNOSTICS, SPIRITUALISTS, HUMANISTS, and SECULARISTS. We need to have people who do not believe in a deity, or organized religion, of any sort.

I went ahead and filled it out, but I'm afraid mine was rather boring. I left religion well before I had a sex life, so I couldn't testify to any wonderfully liberating effect — puberty was a much more powerful force than religion.

On Religion and "Taking the Red Pill"
I've never really talked about religion on this blog before, at least not directly. But there's trouble a-brewin' at ScienceBlogs which has worked more than a few of our ranks into tizzies of knotted panties and carpal tunnel blogging. I figure this is as good a time as any to tackle the topic,…
