It's up.

For some reason athas.org seems to be one of the first places to go when you've got a bad DNS server in your TCP/IP stack. No clue why, but the same thing happened to me awhile back - my primary DNS server went bad and even though the seconday was fine athas.org couldn't be found.

Go figure.

Maybe everything's recorded alphabetically, and athas.org happens to be in the "a"s :P

Assuming you're using Windows:

(don't type any of the quotation marks)

Run-> "command" -> OK
type "ipconfig /flushdns", hit Enter
type "ipconfig /registerdns", hit enter
type "exit", hit enter (to get out of the shell window)

Clear your browser's cache.

Give it a few minutes, maybe 5, tops.

If that doesn't work you probably need to change your DNS settings. I'd suggest talking to your ISP about that, as troubleshooting that via this forum would be both crazy as well as totally off-topic.
