‘The Orbit’ rounds up atheist bloggers

Kimberly Winston | March 17, 2016

(RNS) Organizers hope a new platform for blogs by atheists and others who identify as not religious will set it apart from other atheist sites.

“The Orbit,” a collection of 20-plus new and existing blogs, took off Tuesday (March 15) and will focus on social justice and activism through an atheist lens.

“This group is founded from the beginning as a group dedicated to atheist social justice voices,” said Greta Christina, author of an eponymous blog on The Orbit. “We were also focusing on a diversity of voices when we were building this network from day one.”

The Orbit includes bloggers of different races, sexual orientations and gender identities — a sign of the growing maturity in organized atheism, which has sometimes drawn fire for its lack of diversity.
