All the Questions You Ever Wanted to Ask American Atheists..

By Jon Murray and Madalyn Murray O'Hair.

When a believer meets an Atheist, questions are bound to begin. The Atheist, after all, rejects the most basic ideas which define the world of a religionist: the concepts of god, a supernatural world, the existence of souls and a life after death.

For the Murray-O'Hair family, those questions began in 1959 when Madalyn O'Hair first objected to the Bible reading in the public schools. She and her family spent the next thirty years leading the American Atheist movement, and answering the queries and claims of the religious in every format possible: radio and television shows, lectures, seminars, even in grocery stores when they were recognized while shopping. This book is the result of those experiences.

For readers who are already Atheists, this will prove to be a handy guide in responding to the many claims and questions which religious persons often pose. All the classic inquiries are here, including Pascal's Wager and old saw "How did you get here if there is no god?"

This book meets another crucial need as well--educating atheists about Atheism. Unfortunately, many indiviuals who consider themselves Atheists or hide behind labels such as "freethinker", "rationalist" or non-believer, really have little understanding of Atheism. They often realize the religion makes no sense; but beyond this, they need help in clarifying exactly what Atheism is, and is not. This book can help.
