The New York Daily news has recently reported that a New Jersey-based atheist group is starting the first on-demand TV channel dedicated to godlessness. AtheistTV will be launched this summer by Members of American Atheists with big plans to reach out to atheists, humanists, freethinkers, and folks who are looking for a way out of faith. Spokesman Dave Muscato stated that they are also looking to fill the gap they perceive to be left by the lack of an atheist channel, given that there is “a glut of religious TV programming out there”.

American Atheists already has a production studio at their national headquarters in Cranford, N.J., where they film their public access cable show “Atheist Viewpoint.” AtheistTV will make use of this content as well as their archive of footage from the past 50 years of its activist history. They also intend to work with other content providers such as the Richard Dawkins Foundation and atheist YouTube stars with big fan bases.

The channel will reportedly be available through Roku, a WI-FI device that lets users stream from the Internet onto their TVs. Viewers will need to pay to get Roku, but subscribing to the channel will be free. More than 300 faith-based channels are available, featuring programming centered around Christian music, sermons, and worship services. American Atheists will attempt to define godless programming by having “shows about philosophy, science and history” with “a critical examination of the facts.”

Muscato also hopes the channel will encourage people who doubt their faith to come out as atheist: “When somebody leaves their religion, they don’t necessarily know everything about the Big Bang…this will fill in the gaps in knowledge that pastors have left behind.”

And it’s not just TV programming that atheists are looking to produce: the Daily Beast has recently reported that congregations for atheists are springing up all over the planet. In an article titled ‘Godless Church Services for Atheists Go Global’, it is reported that plans to set up almost 400 “atheist churches” on five continents are underway after the extraordinary success of one small congregation that began holding godless services just over a year ago.
