Publisher's Synopsis
This essential guide to comingout as a nonbeliever has been written to make
it easier for atheists, agnostics, freethinkers, and nonbelievers of all ages
and backgrounds to be open about their nonreligiosity while minimizing
the negative interactions in familial, social, and professional circles.
As a survival guide for nonbelievers who wish to come out, this book
provides advice and resources for those interested in publicly rejecting
religious dogma as well as real stories from nonbelievers who have
experienced comingout to lessthansupportive family or friends.
Whether you're new to disbelief and looking for the cleanest possible
break from your former faith or you're a lifelong atheist who wants to
establish a sense of community with likeminded people, this guide
provides useful resources including: tips for handling potential conflicts
with believers, the author's answers to some of the most frequently asked
questions on behalf of believers, and numerous references to support
groups, services, and advocacy organizations dedicated to nontheists.
From dealing with grief from a secular perspective to handling potential
clashes in religious worldviews between significant others, this book offers
multiple perspectives from nonreligious individuals who have
generously shared their experiences to help those atheists who may find
themselves in similar situations.
