The '''Secular Web''' website is a website run by [[Internet Infidels]] and its stated aim is to promote [[Naturalism (philosophy)|Metaphysical Naturalism]].<ref>[http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/richard_carrier/mission.html ''Defining our mission'']</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]]).
On the whole, the misguided efforts to promote [[atheism]]/[[agnosticism]] not been very effective on the internet (see also: [[Ineffectiveness and weakness of atheist internet outreach]]).<ref>http://www.tektonics.org/gerkin01.html</ref> On the other hand, [[Internet evangelism|Christian internet evangelism]] has been very effective.<ref>http://www.globalmediaoutreach.com/about_us.html</ref><ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVnZAzG53Ok</ref>
Unlike [[Christianity]], which is supported by a large body of sound evidence (see: [[Christian apologetics]]), atheism/agnosticism [[Attempts to dilute the definition of atheism|have no proof and evidence supporting their ideologies]].<ref>
