West Texas A&M University was one of three stops for the Unholy Trinity Tour.

The trio - Matt Dillahunty, AronRa and Seth Andrews - took the stage at Jack B. Kelley Student Center on Saturday to discuss atheism and their views of religion with an audience of WT students and community members, both Christian and atheist. The event was sponsored by Freethought Oasis and the WT chapter of the Secular Student Alliance.

Jamie Farren, president of Freethought Oasis, a non-profit organization in Amarillo, said the purpose of the event was to start a conversation between atheists and other skeptics.

Farren started the event asking those who might be offended by the content of the discussion to stick around afterward for a question-and-answer session. He said he hoped all who participated "can pursue and embrace a personal relationship with reality."

The trio of speakers were first introduced together. They said they chose the name Unholy Trinity as a gag.

AronRa, an atheist activist and vlogger, spoke about the "agenda of creationism" and what he called "tax-funded creationism." He said creationism is completely false and some schools are using tax money to teach the Bible as if it were true.

"I object to the teaching of creationism because it is wrong. We cannot tolerate religious infiltration into children's education," he said.

Much of the speech was about faith, science, religion and how, according to AronRa, they do not relate.

"They don't have evidence; we do, so we don't need faith," he said. "The purpose of science is to improve understanding. Creationism doesn't do that."

Dillahunty also spoke about his experience with different religions. Dillahunty is host of a show on atheist-experience

.com and co-founder of

ironchariots.org, as well as a public speaker and former president of the Atheist Community of Austin.

Dillahunty participated in a debate in Amarillo in 2012, and many audience members from the debate came to Saturday's event.

The third speaker, Seth Andrews, is a video producer. He is the founder of the website thethinkingathiest.com and produces a weekly radio podcast.

Members of Freethought Oasis and the WT chapter of the SSA were present at the event selling merchandise.

Preston Thomas, president of the Secular Student Alliance, is a 19-year-old broadcast journalism major. Thomas said the alliance has 15 to 18 active members.

Members of Texas Wesley United Methodist Campus Ministry, the largest Christian group on the campus, were invited to the event along with other Christian organizations across the Texas Panhandle.
