Publisher's Synopsis
This essential guide to coming-out as a non-believer has been written to make
it easier for atheists, agnostics, freethinkers, and non-believers of all ages
and backgrounds to be open about their non-religiosity while minimizing
the negative interactions in familial, social, and professional circles.
As a survival guide for non-believers 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 non-believers who have
experienced coming-out to less-than-supportive 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 like-minded 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 non-theists.
From dealing with grief from a secular perspective to handling potential
clashes in religious worldviews between significant others, this book offers
multiple perspectives from non-religious individuals who have
generously shared their experiences to help those atheists who may find
themselves in similar situations.
