Welcome to Iron Chariots,

the counter-apologetics wiki.

Iron Chariots is intended to provide information on apologetics and counter-apologetics. We'll be collecting common arguments and providing responses, information and resources to help counter the glut of misinformation and poor arguments which masquerade as "evidence" for religious claims.

The complexity of issues surrounding religion ensures that any proper assessment requires us to delve into a number of philosophical, historical and sociological topics. Our ultimate goal is to provide a robust and definitive resource for:

• atheists seeking responses to common apologetic arguments
• theists who are questioning the efficacy of their beliefs
• apologists who feel that their "pet" argument is above reproach
• individuals of any philosophical ideal who have an interest in religious studies
