North America's First General Interest Magazine for Atheists
Press Release
Landon Callahan July 12, 2013
A small group of atheist writers and artists are aspiring to fill a special interest niche for an oft-ignored secular population. As the first of its kind in North America, word-of-mouth marketing has worked well for The Celestial Teapot.
(Newswire.net -- July 12th, 2013) TORONTO, ONTARIO -- Much of the secularism and atheism sweeping across the world over the last decade has been activism based around removing religion's influence on the government. However, the creators of The Celestial Teapot (TCT) are interested in entertaining as well as informing their readership.
“Looking at the current atheist media, blogs and sites, I found many that were too into bashing, ranting or hyperbole. I wanted to create something for a secular audience that was full of objective and well-researched journalistic work instead,” said Irene Panchuk, editor-in-chief and co-creator of The Celestial Teapot. She added, "I also wanted to create something that is stylish, well designed and sleek, which was another element I found missing from the genre."
"We definitely believe in separation of church and state and getting involved and encouraging activism, but that's not our main goal with the magazine," says Jeff Ridout, TCT’s founder and creative director, "The Celestial Teapot’s aim is to bring some much needed humor, art and culture into the stream of atheist writing."
With a loose theme in place for every issue, the writers of TCT are not directed to convey a specific political, socioeconomic, atheistic, or philosophic message, which has led to an openness from the writers not often found in periodicals. With the focus taken off atheism and placed squarely on the subject matter, the magazine has received incredibly positive feedback from secularists and theists alike.
