ATHEIST POCKET DEBATER contains old and new arguments against the existence of God. The DEBATER gives many ways to argue against Christians, Creationists, and Bible thumpers. It is set up for very quick reference and memorization, yet contains full arguments as well as different ways to argue the same topics.

Current Rating = 4.66/5

Examples include "Lack of Historical Evidence for Jesus," "America Was NOT Created as a Christian Nation," and "God Is Too Hidden to Be Real," as well as others. Arm yourself with very powerful and logical arguments against religious zealots.

SKEPTICISM section contains many subjects related to being a skeptic. Learn how to debunk claims scientifically in just a few questions with "Bogus Claims Debunker." Aliens, ghosts, psychics, and get-rich-quick schemes are deconstructed using logic. Several articles were generously provided by Skeptic magazine!

HUMANISM section is a positive and uplifting area consisting of humanistic articles, including "Declaration of Human Rights" and "Life Is to Be Lived Now," to name a few. It shows that most of us share humanistic interests, whether we realize it or not, and science is our most valuable tool for humanity. "The Humanist Manifesto" is among several articles provided by the American Humanist Association.

Pros and cons of Atheist Pocket Debater app for iPhone and iPad

Atheist Pocket Debater app good for

I enjoyed this app for its thoroughness and variety of argumentative positions. Well-researched and presented, I consult it often just to keep my mind honest about my philosophical positions concerning religion in general. Works well on my iPod Touch.

Well designed, well written. However, it lacks many topics often used by apologetics. The app is excellent as a basic tool for debating basic arguments.

Theres way too many apps devoted to indoctrinating people with bronze age dogma, and not nearly enough devoted to skeptical thinking. An aside to all app devs: please write more science reference apps ;)

All religious people should read this with an open mind, if thats possible.

Content 4/5 Price 2/5 Not worth 3 dollars, 2 dollars at MOST There arnt any updates on content either Took me an hour to finish this app, now what? Dont buy This app till it lowers price

Useful app to get one started in the process of thinking for yourself.

Some bad moments

This App is just a collection of a few questions and answers that are found in much better quality on numerous websites. The presented philosophical arguments are embarrassingly inadequate, poor and shallow.

Its nowhere near worth $2:99. Spend a few dollars more and get the book The God Delusion by Dawkins instead. Wayyy more info, and better arguments put forward. I am disappointed in this. :(

This is garbage. Such limited content. Save your money. I really wish Apple would refund you once you realized how bad an app was after 10 seconds.

I really enjoy reading this, it gives me some hope in humanity

This app is amazing! Very helpful in our fight against religion!

Has everything A person would need to know about the views of skepticism and humanism. Plus enough information to debate religious topics with any bible thumper.
