Join Mojoey's Atheist Blogroll
Minimum Requirements:
Your blog should be written from an atheist, agnostic, or skeptical point of view - however, you must be an atheist or agnostic blogger to gain membership. There is no requirement that your blog be exclusively atheist or agnostic themed. I write about many things here at Deep Thoughts, atheism is only one of many of my passions.
You must display the Atheist Blogroll on your blog if possible. Wordpress users must display the Atheist Blogroll graphic.
Your blog must be a blog - it's helpful if your blog is active.
Your blog must be active. Post at least once every two months to maintain your membership.
Photoblogs are acceptable as long as some written content is provided.
No pornography please.
To Join:
If you would like to join the blogroll, simply send me an email Put "Join the Atheist Blogroll" in the subject line. In the body of the email, please indicate if you are an atheist or agnostic blogger. I will add your blog after I have verified that your blog meets the minimum requirements. Also - send me any site you find worthy of joining. The goal is to collect as many fellow Atheist, Agnostic, and skeptical blogs as possible.
*** New Feature ***
If you would like to be introduced to the Atheist blogging community, please write a short description of your blog's focus and your viewpoint along with a sample blog post which can be used as a reference. Also, indicate that you would like a promotional introduction.
To include the blogroll on your blog:
When you email me requesting that your blog be added to the blogroll, I will send the code by return email. I tried to post the code here but did not figure on the difficulty I would encounter trying to display HTML as text. (If anyone knows how to do this, please let me know.) Hat Tip Nate

About the blogroll:
There are 350 entries currently. I am in the process of weeding out inactive or inappropriate links. So the number will shrink before it starts to grow. You can help by reporting dead links or questionable blogs.
The blogroll is set to display active posts at the top in descending order. of course, more active blogs will appear at the top more often than less active blogs.
Blogrolling requires a ping to let the service know your blog has been updated. Automating this process is a good idea. Deep Thoughts is setup to notify weblogs.com, which will update blogrolling. The process takes about five minutes. It is a good idea set your blog up to auto-update.
Spread the word:
*** Updates ***I would appreciate a small post on your blog to help promote the blogroll. All you need to is briefly describe the service and point them to this post.
- Feb 1, 2007 - Please use Blogrolling's Ping form when updating your blog. Blogrolling.com is experiencing ping spam, which blogs the update service for normal blogs.
- Feb 5, 2007 - I added a rolling version of the blogroll and made RSS, OPML, and PHP version so the blogrolling code available.
- Aug 10, 2007 - Rule change: To join the blogroll, one must be an atheist or agnostic blogger. Also, Added a new promotional introduction feature.

No worries. Watch out here I come! ;)
My hotmail says it doesn't recognise your email address? Is the adress right? Or is it me?
yes - its right, but I used a antispam thingy. mojoeyATgmail.com - replace the AT with a @. It should work fine, or use the link in my profile.
To post code, you can write it in something like a Paint program, save it as an image, and then upload the image. Like was done here. I've never needed to do it myself. But the procedure makes sense, I think.
To post code you just need to replace all of the > and < symbols with the codes > and < respectively. You can then post the code with no problems.
Hey, I would like to join the atheist blog roll!

Thanks!
Satan is in all of this! Beware of what you are doing.
Satan is sneaking these thoughts into your heads. He is trying to keep you from believing in God. You must not fall for this trick.
Pray to God and you will see for yourself the truth of these matters.
Anyone calling themselves an atheist is being controled by demons or satan himself.
You must ask God into your hearts!
Awesome!! I'm so glad you did this!
Hey Joey, just a quick note, wordpress users can't really paste the code... restrictively retarded.
"Satan is in all of this! Beware of what you are doing.

I like being controlled by Satan, it gives me something to do on weekends ;)

Great idea, mojoey. Just added your atheist blogroll to my page. (and would love to join the roll, even though the link list on my page is the only explicitly atheist thing about it!)
mojoey - hats off to you. This is the best plan I have seen in a long time. The xtian right evangelicals have done their worst and we badly need intelligent opinion free from the influence of the lawd.
I added my blog to your roll. Keep up the great work.
I have just added this to my page - someone put me on the list, for which I'm grateful. But I don't know how to automate the pinging process, and didn't see anything on the blogrolling page?
Like the guy above me, I can't figure out how to automate the pinging process. How do I do it? Thanks.
Regarding Pinging,
In Blogger there is a setting on publishing tab called notify weblogs.com. Set this to yes. I also recommend getting a FeedBurner account. FeedBurner does a good job at the same thing, but notifies more services.
I downloaded the code, but haven't a clue what to do with it. I don't speak computer very well. Can anyone hold me by the hand and take me step by step through the process? I mean like" First, turn on your computer. Second, turn on your monitor. Third, Breathe. Fourth,... and so on.

That blogroll is way too long. I have enough in my sidebar already, and already had to cut out things because they would slow down the rest of the sidebar waiting for the included JS to load.
Could, say, the blogroll simply be replaced with a link back to here?
New options are available - I posted a rolling version limited to 25 of the most recently updated entries.
Please see This entry
I'll try to add the blogroll when I get sober. :D
Well Mojoey, I like your blog just fine, but I have some sticky points. Two things in your minumum requirements to join your list of fellow travelers are impediments to me. "You must" sounds a lot like "Thou shalt" and sticks in my craw.
Also "No pornography please" indicates that I can't talk about the rape of the virginal Tamar at the hands of her brother Amnon, or the incredibly raw deal she got from him afterwards.
Nor can I refer to the the interlude between Lot and his daughters after his wife got salty. The Bible is replete with other erotic tales which are interesting to contemplate, but the anti-pornography dictum pretty much puts them off-limits.
People can however link to my blog without impediment, including yourself. I'm a pretty laissez faire sort. An attempt at reasonable spelling and coherent thought are about all I hope for.
And if someone should manage to be annoying, they won't be censored. They will be perhaps a little abrasively responded to instead.
Anyway, you and your friends are welcome to visit or link or share your thoughts without reservation.
We need not confine ourselves to religion and other superstitions either. Nice to meet you.

anthropositor - Whatever....
When you say no porn, I take that you mean no naughty pictures?
And I'd not mind being added - such a small community needs to band together.
DBB - right, no naughty pictures. one of the first people I linked to started showing pictures of himself. It was bad for business.
Thanks for the add! This is such a swell idea. I've been slowly but surely making my way through the roll when I find a few minutes here and there...some excellent stuff!
Use the tag PRE to display HTML as text. I'm not sure whether it works in Blogger, but it is valid HTML.
Thanks Mojoey!
Thought I'd mention my news & facts blog, Daily Atheist. (http://dailyatheist.blogspot.com ) I have included the blog roll on it, so it would be nice to be included in it
It's a bit more convenient and interesting for me to do this type of blog than to ponder eternally on what to write.
just added mine .. but i think the list has become overcrowded?
I'm with you, but "atheism" is weak and gives the game away. I'm an anti-supernaturalist. To set yourself up in opposition to "God" is to suggest the word actually refers to something, that is, to an idea at the very least. But "God" doesn't. Few people seem to have anything coherent in mind, and it's unverifiable even that any two people mean the same thing. Religion is a word game I'd rather not play or encourage.
thumbs up to you mojoey .. the blogroll is an interesting way of "uniting" like and apparently opposing minds ^_^
These comments have been invaluable to me as is this whole site. I thank you for your comment.
MJ,
Please update the link to our blog from:
http://agnosticatheism.wordpress.com
to:
http://agnosticatheism.com
We're more sophisticated now :)

Sent an email, put the blogroll on my blog, even did the intro mail. How long am I supposed to wait now? Great service keep it up!
Add me to the Atheist Blogroll, please.
http://mathieudemers.blogspot.com
I add the blogroll on my blog.
I found that God meant dog in almost everyone's explanation of god. I thought maybe you had never heard this and you might find it to be true.
Site was rebranded to de-conversion (http://www.de-conversion.com). Please add.

my blog's not explicitly atheist because I try not to talk about my beliefs that much. but i do drop hints here and there, enough to make my readers know where i stand. i'd love to be part of this blogroll.
Atheist Blogroll... Finally found really useful information on the topic, thank you.
Dead link on the blog roll: Gandire libera in context urban
Another dead link. Martian Anthropologist.
Seems to have deleted the subdirectory */blog* on the server. The home directory is still accessible.

I have a recommendation for the blogroll.
<95% Of You Are Morons>
Hello Mojoey,
Do you only accept the blogs which are written in English? or do you accept blogs in other languages?
all languages are accepted.
So, I finally got my first atheist post up:
The Swedish Faith In God Or Not
...quite a discussion has been going on there so far :-)
Joe, I just had to share that I have become an Atheist Blogroll junkie. It's official. Soon I will have all the available feeds aggregated through Google Reader, I've got the search engine to maintain...What's next? Is this a good thing? Sigh...
I too have become a junkie. Absorbing info like a vampire sucking blood, I'm mean blogs.

I've sent an email to you with hopes of being added to the blogroll.
I WANT TO SUCK YOUR BLOG!

I'd like to be added to the Atheist Blogroll. Just doing my part to piss off the fundies.
Humans: The Other White Meat
Bad link.
Thoughts - godlessheathen's blogs
Seems that the account does not exist anymore on this blog server.
Just in response to larro, godlessheathen was deleted because apparently calling someone's God imaginary qualifies as hate speech.
http://godlessvoters.blogspot.com/
Is the new link. Just before its up on the roll
GRR!!!
Ooo...I bet there was some harsh words and keyboard banging on that one.
That pisses me off!
The blogroll is a great idea. Thanks.
I have put the blogroll up on my blog, Ecstathy.

Accidents will happen:
Five Public Opinions: I demand a recount!
That last comment is to let you know that you've doubled up "Five Public Opinions" in the blogroll with a post from there as well.
I'll just email you from here on out rather than posting comments here.
Sorry.
I LOVE the way that the fundies and trolls comments here are simply *ignored* - way to go... keep up the great work
NASA scientists found that some electromagnetic fields are alive. This shows precedence for God, satan, angels and demons.
Mojoey - In order to salve my conscience at posting more stuff about france than atheism, I have created a blog specifically for posts about the lack of evidence for any god(s) and all that that entails.
It is titled "2000 years of deception" (http://2000lies.blogspot.com/) and I'd be pleased if it could be included in your blogroll
Regards
Stew
Hey bid, we were on the blogroll but don't see ourselves on there now. Currently we are exposing Frank Walton one of the most dishonest Christians online consistently libeling other atheists. It turns out that his claims of being stalked by others are actually he himself creating other accounts and making it appear as if he is being stalked. This is an important project as he has talked an abundant amount of trash on tons of atheists, and we really want it exposed. For some reason we don't show up in the blogroll. Did you receive a message from him or a shady character similar to him about our blog?
He has done a good job of creating his own hate sites, and we can easily see how one might be confused. You can find good reason to trust us by looking at the footer of the RationalResponders.com website and seeing that we're currently listed. They said they can't list us for very long, they are only listing us to prove our legitimacy.
Here is a post that describes the deceit ofFrank Walton Also the only legitimate site we know of that exposes Frank, in a sometimes satirical manner is our site all about Frank Walton and his atheism sucks friends.
Men, alcohol, football, and locker room talk is a dangerous combination. What needs to happen is a prayer vigil to take place and end this mess once3 and for all!

hi, i just wanted to ask if you could add my blog to your blogroll. that would be great!
http://chillifaith.com/
I'm trying the rolling code on my blog yet it doesn't roll? Any ideas why?
http://exsistosane.blogspot.com
I don't agree - Visit:
www.whyihatejesus.blogspot.com/
Thanks for adding me to the blogroll. I had some trouble with linking at first, but I have your del.icio.us page in my blogroll now and the Atheist Blogroll logo and del.icio.us link are both in my dedicated links page: http://jdc325.wordpress.com/2007/09/24/hello-world/
Can I join?
http://notsofriendlyhumanist.wordpress.com
I haven't gotten an email back yet. My blog is anthonyslane.blogspot.com
My email is asl001@wildblue.net
I was thinking of joining so I could observe and consider new ideas but if you have to be an atheist to participate wouldn't that lead to self-reinforcement of old ideas within the group? I prefer education over indoctrination!
Mr. Science - don't join unless you can grasp the simple purpose of the blogroll. Consider it a test.
The rest of you who want membership but cannot seem to understand the instructions - you must send ME an email as per the instructions listed on the main post.
Feb 1, 2007 - Please use Blogrolling's Ping form when updating your blog. Blogrolling.com is experiencing ping spam, which blogs the update service for normal blogs.
We really need another ping service. It is annoying that any time I write a new post I have to visit the blogrolling ping form and do it manually when my Blogging software allows automatic pinging when publishing.
Is there any progress done on this?
