One way is to provide a historical answer. Another is to provide a philosophical one. We’ll start with the historical answer.</p> <p>The Secular Web, then called <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://freethought.tamu.edu">the Freethought Web</a>, was created in 1995 at Texas A&M University by cofounders Jeffery Jay Lowder and Brett Lemoine. Once they decided to create a formal organization to support the open-access resource, Lowder and Lemoine threw out some possible names for the budding organization. Lemoine proposed the name “Internet Infidels,” and since it was by far the catchiest of the names proposed, they decided to adopt it, and the rest is history.</p> <p>Such an innocuous origin will surely disappoint those who hoped that we intentionally chose our organizational name to co-opt a derogatory term as an act of defiance and solidarity. The Islamist use of a “derogatory” Arabic word for all non-Muslims, most commonly rendered as “infidels” in English, is entirely coincidental, and the English rendition had not become a household word in the United States until September 11, 2001, well after Internet Infidels was founded. Obviously, if “infidels” is an English rendering of an Arabic word, there must be <a href="https://infidels.org/library/historical/robert-ingersoll-great-infidels/">some English referent of that term</a> predating its use in translation.</p> <p>It was the original English meaning of “infidels” that we adopted, not the meaning that subsequently became dominant. According to <em>The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language</em>, for example, “infidel” not only means “An unbeliever with respect to a particular religion,” but more relevantly to us, “One who has no religious beliefs.” In addition, some people undoubtedly find the term “infidels” offensive because they don’t understand the correct meaning of the term, erroneously identifying it with something like “adulterers.”</p> <p>Alternative meanings aside, a case could be made that the vast majority of people who find fault with us do not find fault with our choice of words, but with the positions to which those words refer. One might argue that the “humanist” euphemism for the term “atheist,” for instance, only eliminates the negative connotations of the word “atheist” at the expense of clarity—by making the position that one advocates murky to believers. For instance, it’s doubtful that bus advertisements adorned with the message “Why believe in a god? Just be good for goodness’ sake” would have been more “offensive” simply for having been noticeably sponsored by Atheist Alliance International instead of the American Humanist Association.</p> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-default"/> <p><a id="purpose" name="purpose"></a><strong>What is the purpose of Internet Infidels?</strong></p> <p>Internet Infidels is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational organization dedicated to defending and promoting naturalistic worldview on the Internet. <a href="https://infidels.org/library/modern/nontheism-naturalism/">Naturalism</a> is the hypothesis that nature is a closed system in the sense that it is not affected by anything outside of it (if there is anything outside of it at all). As such, naturalism entails that there are no supernatural agents, such as gods or other spirits, that intervene into nature from a transcendental realm. Internet Infidels fulfills its mission by ensuring the growth and maintenance of the Secular Web, the most comprehensive freethought resource on the Internet. The Secular Web is a virtual library of information on a variety of subjects of particular interest to those skeptical of religious claims, but valuable to others as well. For more, see our <a href="https://infidels.org/contact-us/about-us/">About Us</a> page, the <a href="https://infidels.org/library/modern/nontheism-naturalism/">Naturalism</a> and <a href="https://infidels.org/library/modern/nontheism-secularhumanism/">Secular Humanism</a> sections of our <a href="https://infidels.org/library/modern/">Modern Library</a>, and the <a href="#naturalism">naturalism</a> entry below.</p> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-default"/> <p><a id="naturalism" name="naturalism"></a><strong>Why is Internet Infidels defined in terms of naturalism?</strong></p> <p>Invariably people want to know why we define ourselves in terms of <a href="https://infidels.org/library/modern/nontheism-naturalism/">naturalism</a> instead of better known terms like atheism or nontheism. Simply put, naturalism represents a broader philosophical position about what sorts of things do and do not exist. Atheism, the position that there (probably) are no gods, is simply an incidental consequence of naturalism. As such, atheism is merely a position on the existence of one kind of supernatural being; unlike naturalism, atheism does not offer a complete worldview. In a society dominated by theism, the view that there is a single personal god outside of the natural order, it is not surprising that nonbelief is most widely known in terms of the negation (or at least absence) of theism. But since it is merely through historical accident that Western theism has become a particularly tenacious belief, the popularity of that belief is no reason to define oneself in contrast to it. Had some other form of supernaturalism come to dominate Western tradition, we would be no less determined to contest it.</p> <p>Otherwise useful terms encompassing a wide swath of nonbelievers suffer similar drawbacks. “Freethought” (not to be confused with “free thought”) and “rationalism” have historical precedent and probably constitute the widest umbrella terms. But if defined as the position that one should form one’s religious positions solely on the basis of reason (i.e., arguments and evidence), and thus never on the basis of faith, revelation, tradition, or authority, either term encompasses a wide variety of positions, and thus provides little insight into what sorts of things do or do not exist. “Secularism” has the same drawback, and the additional one that it is more commonly understood to indicate political advocacy of the separation of church and state or the exclusion of religious considerations in the formation of public policy, rather than any particular philosophical stance. Terms like “skepticism” and “humanism” are also more commonly used to indicate generic doubt or a Renaissance focus on human welfare in this life, respectively, rather than skepticism about religious claims.</p> <p>Consequently, we define ourselves in terms of a thesis about the overall nature of reality, and thus in opposition to <em>all</em> positions incompatible with that thesis. We take to be false <em>all</em> claims about the existence and features of an otherworldly, transcendental domain “above” or “beyond” the natural world, but nevertheless somehow able to interact with it. Insofar as a religion is a belief system that affirms the existence of the supernatural, naturalism entails that all religions are equally false. Thus the Secular Web aims not only to critique the truth of particular religious claims, but the truth of any and all religious claims. Animism, the belief that even inanimate objects like rocks and rivers are interpenetrated by nature spirits active in human affairs, is in principle no less fair game for skeptical critique than the doctrines of major world religions.</p> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-default"/> <p><a id="contact" name="contact"></a><strong>Do you have a fax?

Christian apologists engage us intellectually on a regular basis, directly challenging us to address their claims. Consequently, many of our authors (particularly former Christians) are better qualified to assess Christian claims than the claims of other religions, and their contributions often concern issues unique to Christianity.</p> <p>Nevertheless, many of our papers address <a href="https://infidels.org/library/modern/theism-arguments/">theism</a> and <a href="https://infidels.org/library/modern/nontheism-naturalism/">supernaturalism</a> in general, rather than Christianity in particular, and we have published some critiques of <a href="https://infidels.org/library/modern/theism-judaism/">Judaism</a> (and the Old Testament), <a href="https://infidels.org/library/modern/theism-islam/">Islam</a>, and even <a href="https://infidels.org/library/modern/theism-hinduism/">Hinduism</a> specifically, as well as particularly flourishing offshoots of Christianity like <a href="https://infidels.org/library/modern/theism-mormonism/">Mormonism</a>.
