The King shall rejoice in thy strength, O Lord!
'''Internet Infidels''', owns and operates the website the [[Secular Web]]. Internet Infidels, Inc. is based in Colorado Springs, Colorado and is a nonprofit organization founded in 1995 [[A.D.]] by [[Jeffery Jay Lowder]] and Brett Lemoine. The [[Secular Web]] is a website which promotes [[atheism]], [[agnosticism]], and [[Philosophical skepticism|skepticism]] on the [[internet]]. Its stated aim is to promote [[Naturalism (philosophy)|Metaphysical Naturalism]].<ref>[http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/richard_carrier/mission.html ''Defining our mission''] Internet Infidels. Accessed 15 March 2008</ref>
[[Christian apologetics|Christian apologist]] [[JP Holding]] has written concerning the Secular Web: "The Secular Web has a few [[intelligent]] people, but overall has long been a haven for every skeptical know-it-all to pronounce judgments upon matters outside of their expertise."<ref>http://www.tektonics.org/gerkin01.html</ref> In addition, Holding has indicated that the quality of [[Internet atheism|internet content]] produced by the Secular Web has gone down since the 1990s.<ref>[http://tektonforge.blogspot.com/2012/04/secular-webs-great-tinfoil-age.html The Secular Web's Great tinfoil age]</ref> The decline in the quality of material at Internet Infidels has been concurrent with the rise of [[theism|theists]] in academia within [[philosophy]] departments (see: [[Atheism and academia]]).

Although JP Holding has written rebuttals of the prominent members of the skeptical community such as [[David Hume]]<ref>http://www.tektonics.org/TK-H.html</ref>, [[Friedrich Nietzsche]]<ref>http://www.tektonics.org/lp/nietzsche01.html</ref> and [[G.A. Wells]]<ref>http://www.tektonics.org/jesusexist/jesusexisthub.html</ref><ref>http://www.tektonics.org/uz/wellsga01.html</ref>, Holding has also written rebuttals of lesser-known members of the secular community who publish and/or are featured on the Secular Web such as:
