I don't know about that.....
No. Skeptic Magazine was started by Michael Shermer, who, I'm pretty sure, was already an atheist by the time he started the magazine. If you'll look at what I said, you'll see that I stated that the late Steve Allen was heavily involved in the critical thinking movement. If you want to find more on Steve Allen's involvement, google "Dumbth."
What I said in response to Elim 10's question was that Skeptic is not a specifically atheist magazine, though it leans heavily toward atheism. It is specifically a critical thinking magazine. Among the things Skeptic debunks - along with creationism - are: astrology, psychic phenomena, dowsing, reincarnation, faith healing and much more.

Re: ¿Religion of Peace?
Ah, cool, thanks for the clarification, Tim.
Do they look at Darwin's theory of evolution with the same skepticism?

Yes, all scientific theories are checked out. However, since this thread is actually supposed to be about Islam, it would probably derail it if we go off on a discussion of Darwinian theory.
The next issue of Skeptic, which was just sent to the printers, will be devoted to Islam. My article, "Mythology in the Qur'an" will be published in that issue.

Re: ¿Religion of Peace?
Sorry, Algee, the internet access is only for subscribers to Skeptic. I should have clarified that.

Re: ¿Religion of Peace?
I'll tell you what: You can buy the single issue on Islam, or look at a copy in your local library or wait until after the magazine has come out for me to post the article on my website, timcallahan.info. That last will be early July.
Meanwhile, if you have any specific questions on mythology in the Qur'an, I can answer them here.
