My top 5 emerging blogs of 2008
Nov 2nd, 2008 | By Chris Basinet | Category: Commentary, ListHere are five blogs you definitely don’t want to miss, starting at number…
5. Erv
Erv is a blog that isn’t afraid to show its opinion. The blog has some edge to it, and though it seems to primarily be an atheist blog, it often branches out into political and scientific topics. Add this one to your bookmarks.
4. The Bad Idea Blog
The Bad Idea Blog is a hilarious source of science, news, politics and skepticism. If there’s a blog you should add to your RSS feed, it’s this one.
3. MarinaLee
MarinaLee’s blog is a political opinion blog with fresh ideas. Her editorials are always sharp, logical, and definitely worth reading. They bring a new kind of outlook on various political issues, with a touch of humor.

2. Daylight Atheism
Daylight Atheism is hardly a 2008 blog- but I just had to put it on this list because since its creation in 2006, the blog has brought to the table crisp ideas that make heaps of sense and will have you feeling happier and just a bit more logical at the end of the day.
1. Skepchick
At #1, Skepchick is a fresh girl-blog that is both insightful and tons of fun to read. Even guys will enjoy the witty posts and interesting topics on this popular site.

I realize this is a list of ATHEIST blogs, but would really enjoy dialoging with any friendly atheists out there! My blog is EmergingChristian.com, and we’re exploring questions regarding faith in a postmodern context. I’ve enjoyed interaction with all sorts of visitors: Muslims, Agnostics, Atheists, Homosexuals, Fundamentalists, Star Trek fans… All in a respectful environment, asking questions that I think would be relevant to your readership: “Can faith survive in postmodern ambiguity? Amid existential angst? In a globalized, pluralistic society?”
Too many angry Christians out there - I know. We’re trying to turn the mirror back on ourselves and attempt to humbly reconnect with people who have different ideas… and grow from that dialogue!
