I'm not an atheist yet, but it certainly answered more than a few of my questions about it.
I don't like the idea of evangelical atheism, because it seems just as bad as any other form of evangelism, but it's good to have at least a reaction to all of the negativity atheists and agnostics get these days. I'm a firm believer in keeping up a good defense, but only going on the offense when you need to.
The book is small, too, so all those Brights Movement people can use it as their pocket companion in making conversions.  "Every time I hear the phrase 'Christian nation' I run to my car and blast a Slayer album at full volume." - Me |
