Bart will need no introduction for most people, but in case you aren’t aware: he is the James A. Gray Distinguished Professor of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the author of over 30 books on early Christianity and New Testament studies, including the best sellers Misquoting Jesus: The Story Behind Who… ## [Review – Alice Roberts “Domination: The Fall of the Roman Empire and the Rise of Christianity”](https://historyforatheists.com/2025/10/review-alice-roberts-domination-the-fall-of-the-roman-empire-and-the-rise-of-christianity/) _2025-10-30 · Tim O'Neill · History for Atheists_ Alice Roberts, Domination: The Fall of the Roman Empire and the Rise of Christianity, (Simon and Schuster, 2025), 413 pp. There is no shortage of excellent books on both the end of the Roman Empire and on the formation of Christendom. Most are by expert historians, many are recent and several are highly accessible works aimed at the general reader. So it may be wondered why another such book has… ## [Interview – Dr Dan McClellan on the Hebrew Bible](https://historyforatheists.com/2025/09/interview-dr-dan-mcclennan-on-the-hebrew-bible/) _2025-09-28 · Tim O'Neill · History for Atheists_ My guest today is Dr Dan McClellan. Dan is the presenter of the Data over Dogma podcast and a public educator who has won the Society of Biblical Literature s 2023 Richards Award for Public Scholarship for his YouTube and TikTok videos on the academic study of the Bible. He is also the author of The Bible Says So: What We Get Right (and Wrong) About Scripture s Most Controversial Issues (2025).… ## [The Great Myths 16: The Conflict Between Science and Religion](https://historyforatheists.com/2025/08/the-great-myths-16-the-conflict-between-science-and-religion/) _2025-08-06 · Tim O'Neill · History for Atheists_ The Conflict Thesis forms a kind of underlying historical metamyth that informs and undergirds a substantial number of assumptions about history by anti-theist polemicists. This is the assumed and unquestioned idea that Science and Religion have been perpetually at war down the ages. Also known as the Draper-White Thesis or Warfare Model, it is a conception of the history of science that presents… ## [Interview – Dr Thomas C. Schmidt on Josephus’ Testimonium](https://historyforatheists.com/2025/06/interview-dr-thomas-c-schmidt-on-josephus-testimonium/) _2025-06-30 · Tim O'Neill · History for Atheists_ My guest today is Dr Thomas C. Schmidt of Fairfield University. Tom has just published an interesting new book through Oxford University Press: Josephus and Jesus – New Evidence for the One Called Christ. In it he makes a detailed case for the authenticity of the Testimonium Flavianum; the much disputed passage about Jesus in Book 18 of Flavius Josephus’ Antiquities of the Jews. Not only does he… ## [“Rationality Rules” Bungles Tom Holland](https://historyforatheists.com/2025/05/rationality-rules-bungles-tom-holland/) _2025-05-11 · Tim O'Neill · History for Atheists_ In 2019 public historian Tom Holland published his book Dominion: The Making of the Western Mind, a thematic history examining the ways Christianity has fundamentally influenced western thinking. The book became a best-seller and critical favourite, though it did not sit well with some, particularly those with an animus against Christianity and religion in general. It has been, however, warmly… ## [Interview – Dr Ada Palmer on Myths of the Renaissance](https://historyforatheists.com/2025/04/interview-dr-ada-palmer-on-myths-of-the-renaissance/) _2025-04-27 · Tim O'Neill · History for Atheists_ My guest today is Dr Ada Palmer, Associate Professor of Early Modern European History at the University of Chicago and author Inventing the Renaissance: Myths of a Golden Age. I must say I haven’t enjoyed reading a book as much as this one in quite some time. Dr Palmer takes the traditional idea of the Renaissance – that it was a glorious rebirth of reason, artistic mastery and secular thinking… ## [Did the Pope Apologise to Galileo?](https://historyforatheists.com/2025/03/galileo-pope-apologise/) _2025-03-23 · Tim O'Neill · History for Atheists_ One regularly repeated element in the mythic version of the Galileo story is the claim that the Catholic Church did not even admit Galileo had been right about heliocentrism until 1992, which is when Pope John Paul II finally issued an apology for his persecution. This factoid forms a satisfying coda to the popular version of the Galileo Affair, when the righteous martyr for reason is finally… ## [Interview – Dr Nathan Johnstone on New Atheist Bad History](https://historyforatheists.com/2025/01/interview-dr-nathan-johnstone-on-new-atheist-bad-history/) _2025-01-30 · Tim O'Neill · History for Atheists_ My guest today is Dr Nathan Johnstone. Nathan is the author of the excellent 2018 book, The New Atheism, Myth and History: The Black Legends of Contemporary Anti-Religion. Like me, Nathan is an unbeliever. And, like me, he has been concerned at the way many of our more anti-theistic fellow atheists have misused history in their arguments. His book covers many of the same examples of this as the… ## [One platform, from silicon to agent (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/AH19fkTuObDv) _2025-01-30 · **Sponsored**_ Serverless inference plus Inference Router to optimize cost and latency at scale. ## [Pagan Christmas, Again.](https://historyforatheists.com/2024/12/pagan-christmas-again/) _2024-12-15 · Tim O'Neill · History for Atheists_ Every year, without fail, we find endless articles, memes and claims on social media about the supposed pagan origins of Christmas. As with Halloween and Easter, anti-theist activists find themselves in furious agreement with neo-pagans and even some evangelical Christians that the date and virtually all the main customs and traditions of Christmas are actually pagan. Pop history articles and…
