There is a lot of one-man theories regarding early Christianity/mythicism that has made it into atheist circles and are quite widely believed to be true despite having very little basis in fact.
What I find most interesting is that the people who promote these view seem to hold the same basic view: The mainstream view on early Christianity, firmly believed to be true by virtually all experts, is false. Furthermore the mainstream view is influenced by Christians who are biased and untrustworthy and can therefore be dismissed as just confirming a pre-conceived idea that Jesus must have existed. Jewish, agnostic or atheist scholars who also believe Jesus existed are somehow forced to tow the line because their careers are build around the idea Jesus existed and they will loose their jobs and funding if they find anything different.
The people whose opinion should be trusted are therefore most often atheists and non-experts who, free from the confines of scholarship, are the only people who can "see" (and accurately interpret) the few details of the evidence that has apparently evaded thousands of scholars and confirm that Jesus did not exist. Much time is spend on explaining that it is just a happy coincidence that this happens to support their atheism and they are completely unbiased.
Sometimes experts in other fields will agree with their interpretations, or experts will say something which can be interpreted to support mythicism. In that case these experts can certainly be trusted despite otherwise being in strong disagreement with mythicism.
Finally the mainstream view Jesus existed is just verging on collapsing with more and more experts being secretly convinced of the mythicism position but are to afraid to speak out.
Interestingly this is exactly the kind of thing creationists say about evolution but that is TOTALLY not the same
I think Richard Carrier and Raphael Lataster are the leading exponents of these views.. Carrier for instance wrote a huge book where he computed the chance that Jesus existed to be something like 0.08% lol.

Britain Press told by EU not to reveal if terror attacks are carried out by 'muslims'
by EndofMysteries inhttp://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3823706/european-human-rights-chiefs-orders-british-press-not-reveal-terrorists-muslims.html.
"european human rights chiefs have told the british press it must not report when terrorists are muslim.
thank goodness they are getting out of the eu, before like sweden even people in uk can get arrested for posting on social media posting any facts and problems the immigrants/muslims/or refugees are causing.

As far as i can tell, this story is actually about a report and has absolutely nothing to do with any particular piece of EU legislation which could limit free speech.
...not that I would expect the British pro brexit lala press to understand that distinction

Steve Hassan. Can some one verify if this is true.

Ruby: According to Hassan, he was never contacted regarding his rates for the piece...
I am actually questioning the call for statistics to back up his claims of success because it seems unreasonable. According to Hassan he has a high rate of success (but he only counts cases that reach the intervention stage), however what exactly is she asking for?. In order to probably evaluate outcome of his interventions statistically, Hassan would have to get two populations of cult victims, then divide them in two groups (experiment and control), perform his type of intervention on one group and another on the other group and finally evaluate the outcome. This would need to be done with many patients in each groups to get any sort of statistical confidence; obviously an undertaking nobody could be expected to perform.
Regarding Cathleens experience in the courtroom: I don't know what it takes to be used as an expert witness in the courtroom but more specifically we don't know what she was testifying about exactly... I think it is more direct to look at what she actually accomplished during her PhD and how that relates to cults. So first off her PhD was not about cults as far as I can tell from the title and I can't find any work she has published. If she has really not published anything that is a very bad sign indeed.
Re. Applewhite: just look at the video where she gives her testimony. Stuart grills her for not having the facts straight and she is given about a month to fix the errors in the report.
