On Sunday June 28th, the first-ever Atheist Film Festival will be held at the Roxie Theater in San Francisco's Mission District from 12pm to midnight. Feature-length films will be shown in the 240-seat theater, short films in the small 46-seat screening room. The free festival is sponsored by San Francisco Atheists.

Films shown will include: "Pledge of Allegiance Blues", a documentary that follows the Rev. Dr. Michael Newdow, the blues-singing California physician, as he battles to protect the separation between church and state; "Root of all Evil?" in which where professor Richard Dawkins examines how religious faith is gaining ground in the face of rational, scientific truth; "Evolution: The Musical" is a comical journey into the debate between creationism and the scientific model of evolution; "Submission" (by Theo van Gogh and Ayaan Hirsi Ali), "Audience of One," "Heathen Wind," and many others, including atheist youtube videos

San Francisco Atheists is one of the most active Atheist-related organizations in the Bay Area. The group's website states: "Atheists do not believe in gods, devils, angels, ghosts, or other imaginary creatures. Atheists accept reality. We want to live natural, religion-free lives. We respect science and learning, knowing that only human thought, effort and courage will bring individual freedom and cultural progress." Read more
