An Atheist stranger in a strange religious land : selected writings from the Bible Belt by Silverman, Herb, author instant download

264 pages ; 23 cm, \"From Orthodox Jewish child in postwar America to mild-mannered mathematician in academia to legendary atheist activist in the heart of today's Republican South, Herb Silverman has always been outside the mainstream of American culture, politics, and religion. From this unique vantage point, he writes about the most pressing issues of our day, including those related to war, peace, patriotism, race, gender, and church-state separation. In this entertaining and thought-provoking volume, he curates some of his best written work. Silverman may see himself as an atheist stranger in a strange religious land, but thanks in part to his work as activist and author, atheists as a whole are no longer strangers in this increasingly irreligious land\"--Publisher's website, Atheism -- Belief versus behavior -- Bible talk -- Candidates without a prayer -- Catholicism -- Coalitions -- College of Charleston -- Darwin, Charles -- Dawkins, Richard -- Debates and discussions -- Faith -- Foreign policy -- Fox News -- Free speech -- Godly patriotism -- Health care -- Holidays, war, and peace -- Islam -- Judaism -- LGBT -- Marriage -- Mormonism -- Prayer -- Presidential primaries -- Reviews -- Science -- Separation of church and state -- Sex -- Sound bites -- South Carolina -- Women, Includes bibliographical references
