Synopses & Reviews
Fighting God is a firebrand manifesto from one of the most
recognizable faces of atheism. In his book, Silverman — a walking, talking
atheist billboard known for his appearances on Fox News — discusses the
effectiveness, ethics and impact of the in-your-face-atheist who refuses
to be silent.
Silverman argues that religion is more than just
wrong: it is malevolent and does not deserve our respect. It is our duty
to be outspoken and do what we can to bring religion down. Examining
the mentality, methods and issues facing the firebrand atheist,
Silverman presents an overwhelming argument for firebrand atheism and
reveals:
- All religion is cafeteria religion and almost all agnostics are atheists.
- American society grants religion a privileged status, despite the intentions of the Founding Fathers.
-
Christian politicians have adversely (and un-Constitutionally) affected
our society with regard to science, health, women's rights, and gay
rights.
- The notion of "atheist Jews" is a lie forced on us by religion.
- It is not "Islamophobia" to observe dangerous teachings and disproportionate violence in Islam.
- Atheists are slowly but surely winning the battle.
Fighting God is
a provocative, unapologetic book that takes religion to task and will
give inspiration to non-believers and serve as the ultimate answer to
apologists.
