Description
Featured in recent front page story of the NEW YORK TIMES
"Atheist Pocket Debater is an excellent and useful tool for Atheists and Skeptics." - Michael Shermer, Skeptic Magazine
** Jason Hagen interviewed by Dan Barker (FFRF.org) on FREETHOUGHT RADIO Podcast. **
**ON TOP 25 LIST out of 27,000 apps in BOOK CATEGORY**
**"Well thought out and organized.... highly recommended to anyone wanting to learn more about the mentioned topics, or anyone looking to broaden their horizons." - APP MODO
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.

One stop shopping for countering apologetics
Nearly everything you need is here in this guide.
This is the basic tool set to counter Christian apologetics used to defend their bankrupt worldview.

Fantastic app, I desperately need another! I’m a closet atheist and this is helpful. It walks through several major topics in simplicity. A must for new atheists.

Wealth of Knowledge
What a great app! This should be a required course in public schools. It teaches people how to think critically. It’s a positive approach to being a human. It’s a shame that there’s no way to do that without making religions look bad.

I love the Atheist Debater application. I mean come on...how do you truly believe after reading these points? You don't! You're lost! You're confused! You're angry....feeling lied to. Good! Because you were!

Very good content
The discussion points are pretty good. Divided in particular subjects make it very convenient. Arguments are not always sound but...in general it is good tool to make think.

Informative
Very informative app and well put together with information that when cross referenced is accurate. Well worth the money.

Solid Arguments
Solid arguments supported by reliable proof and evidence. Pay no attention to the reviews written by people who want you to believe in an invisible man that lives in the sky.
By the way, a "scientific theory," is fact. And, who is this chum that claims there is empirical evidence for Jesus raising himself from the dead? No there isn't - even the most hardcore theist won't argue this...clown shoe.
Think for yourself, and stop vomiting nonsense.
Buy it. Gift it. Tell everyone about it.

Extremely Desirable
Tools such as this are very important for individuals that value the stability of a coherent and fortified argument. Many of us skeptics are able to assess an argument well, but it can be hard to defend a position when all of one's points are scattered in the back of his mind. This app can help organize your thoughts, making it invaluable for the rational argument.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😶
I still think its ironic that Christians download the app just so they can give it a bad review.
Brilliant and simple. But not searchable, if its based off a simple document design this might be a nice thing to add.
Again a wonderful resource thank you.

Concise consideration of the topics
It is mind boggling how pervasive religious superstition is in the American culture. The structures that support it are organized because they have something to gain, power and money. Objective reason challenges this superstition and prevails at least in logic. However, the rhetoric associated with religious superstition seems too be far more effective at persuading the masses. This app helps respond to many of the key arguments from a rhetorical perspective. We need more of this. Thanks.

Great App
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.

Pretty good--and could be better!
Most of the arguments I'm already familiar with, but I'll have to admit that this would probably help those who have recently been introduced to debate should give this a quick look. The guide provides some details about the more common theistic arguments, and also specifies which fallacies lie hidden in them. Also included, some helpful notes on related subjects including belief, humanism, and tips for the reader on applications of skepticism. Worth it.

Awesome SKEPTICS app!
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this! It's great to for quick reference and I have used it more than once.
The Author does great job showing that the bible itself is the biggest reason to reject the Christian religion. Not only on scientific and logical grounds, but moral ones as well.
I began wondering how much of the bible does the typical Christian actually believe? How far gone are they? Do they literally believe The story of Noah's ark? Jonah and the whale? Adam and Eve and the snake? Sampson and his magical hair? How about that Jesus was born from a virgin woman that was impregnated

Very weak, uninformed.
"At least hell will have rockn' music"... Seriously?... Most of the author's points are atheism 101, and are presented with a weak understanding of Christianity.
As a brief but fundamental example, the author states that God is not just because he forgives criminals if they except Jesus and doesn't punish them for their crimes. But the author fails to address the Christian concepts of grace (yes, God is not just towards the criminals) and atonement (yes, God is just in that no sin goes unpunished.)
If you want to debate baby Christians this app might be useful, but against someone who

Awesome! I use this everyday as a quick guide. Also I use this as a reassurance of who I am. Being an atheist is not all that I am but is part of me and being a skeptic helps me understand the world independently. Great app.

Must have app!!!
This app was an amazing find. A must have for any atheist/agnostic/skeptic looking to be more prepared for when those theists come knocking on your door to "spread the good word".

Useful; but could get better
I love having the specific Bible References at my finger tips, but do feel that many of the arguments might not help you discuss your POV with believers who truly think about this stuff.

Useful, handy tool
Definitely useful and worth the 99 cents. Great arguments right at your fingertips. I am hoping for updates and more information in the future.

Disappointing
The arguments are often childish, and even where correct, not well presented. These might do if you are debating with the dimwits who may knock on your door to tell you "the good news", but will come across as naïve when having a discussion with anyone with a more sophisticated take on things.
In many places it takes a straw man approach, arguing against a version of Christianity that isn't really believed by many followers (e.g., the doctrine of "love me or burn"). In other places (historical Jesus) it doesn't reflect the best of research.

Great pocket (iPhone) Reference!
I have been looking for an App such as this for a while. What a great resource for critical thinking/skepticism, humanism, and atheism! The atheism part might turn off a believer from buying this App, but I would still highly encourage any critical thinking person to get it, believer or not! You can still be a skeptical person about most everything in life outside the God question!
