The American Rationalist is America's oldest continuously published journal dedicated to promoting rationalism and a scientific view of the world. Since 1953, a select readership has reveled in AR's plain-speaking, no-holds-barred war on the irrational: religious dogma, superstition, and all other kinds of silliness and stupidity. Hence the subtitle of AR: An Alternative to Superstition and Nonsense.

Here's what AR's current editor, Kaz Dziamka, says about the journal:

„For nearly fifty years, the American Rationalist has dared to criticize the absurdity of religious beliefs and to defy tradition, convention, the Church, and the State. Often AR has also defied its readers, even at the risk of losing some of them. That's because AR is a special magazine, even among the few freethought publications: we have never relinquished freedom of the intellect under personal, corporate, religious, or any institutional pressure. Independently edited, AR is censored only by the rigor of objective, rational analysis. Reason and common sense are our best defense. Join us!"
