Godless: How an Evangelical Preacher Became One of America's Leading Atheists
of Dan Barker, Richard Dawkins (Goodreads Author) (Foreword)
Description
ADVANCE PRAISE FOR GODLESSâValuable in the human story are the reflections of intelligent and ethical people who listen to the voice of reason and who allow it to vanquish bigotry and superstition. This book is a classic example.ââCHRISTOPHER HITCHENS author of God is Not GreatâThe most eloquent witness of internal delusion that I knowâa triumphantly smiling refugee from the zany, surreal world of American fundamentalist Protestantismâis Dan Barker.ââRICHARD DAWKINS author of The God DelusionâGodless was a revelation to me. I donât think anyone can match the (devastating!) clarity, intensity, and honesty which Dan Barker brings to the journeyâfaith to reason, childhood to growing up, fantasy to reality, intoxication to sobriety.ââOLIVER SACKS authors of MusicophiliaIn Godless, Barker recounts his journey from evangelical preacher to atheist activist, and along the way explains precisely why it is not only okay to be an atheist, it is something in which to be proud.ââMICHAEL SHERMER publisher of Skeptic MagazineâGodless is a fascinating memoir and a handbook for debunking theism. But most of all, it is a moving testimonial to one manâs emotional and intellectual rigor in acclaiming critical thinking.ââROBERT SAPOLSKY author of Why Zebras Donât Get Ulcers
