101 Lists for Atheists, Agnostics, and Secular Humanists: The Little Book
Before you buy, please feel free to Look Inside or download a sample. I currently have over 30 books on Amazon Kindle. Select my name I. M. Probulos above and click on ›Visit Amazon's I. M. Probulos Page.This book provides 101 of the very best succinct answers, retorts, and facts about any topic related to religion, faith, superstition, the Bible, evolution, and science. This version is meant to be as short as possible with the top three to twelve arguments or elements listed first.Before you purchase this book, you may wish to review The Big Book Of Lists, which has over 50 additional lists plus individual lists that are not limited to the top 12-25 items, as in this book. Some lists include a hundred items or more.While writing my book, The 12 Unthinkable Horrors of Human Existence, I assembled a lot of lists as I researched the concepts of evil, original sin, the religion and God memes, and numerous other related topics. I watched videos of Christopher Hitchens and Michael Shermer debate apologists; I watched Matt Dillahunty on The Atheist Experience, and listened to Seth Andrews on The Thinking Atheist. I observed with excitement as they succinctly hit all the salient points on the errors of superstitious beliefs and faith without evidence. I watched the YouTube series by Thunderf00t and Aron Ra probably three times. I have watched dozens of debates against apologists Frank Turek, Dinesh D’Souza, Ken Hovind, and William Lane Craig.Not only did I take notes but I assembled a database of thousands of facts, lists, topics, quotes, and anything else related to religion and science. This book is the result of well over five years of collecting such data.I hope you enjoy this Kindle book and if so, please review it and share it with your friends.

101 Lists for Atheists, Agnostics and Secular Humanists (The Little Book) by I.M. Probulos
"101 Lists for Atheists, Agnostics and Secular Humanists" is a "Little Book" that packs a big punch. This is a well-grounded quick reference guide that covers 101 topics of interest for atheists, agnostics and secular humanists. List lovers and I'm guilty as charged will enjoy this book. This interesting 205-page book of lists is composed of 101 topics covering a gamut of subjects.
Positives:
1. An excellent idea for a reference book!
2. An ambitious book that provides 101 lists of interesting questions related to nonbelief.
3. A book from a layman for the laypeople. In the author's defense he does have a degree in psychology and a master's degree in an undisclosed discipline.
4. There is no resource quite like this. The author will update several times a year.
5. Great choice of topics! Scientific and theological disciplines.
6. The kind of book that you can pick up anytime, anywhere.
7. Bad bible quotes.
8. Cognitive biases.
9. Evolution always a personal favorite topic.
10. Great references to supporting material: books, links to online resources (including YouTube videos, and debates). Bravo!
11. Kindle offers...how cool is that?
12. Provides lists from the opposition. Interesting.
13. List of social networks.
14. Appendix that includes expanded lists.
15. Great value. The risk to reward is off the charts!
Negatives:
1. It's not a book. It's a reference guide based on lists so if you are expecting a typical narrative be forewarned.
2. Low production value (at less than a dollar, I shouldn't be complaining). In other words, the format is not consistent throughout.
3. No formal bibliography.
In summary, love the concept of lists. An excellent reference guide from a self-proclaimed layman that covers the gamut of atheist interests. Low production value aside I really enjoyed this and it's such a great value! I highly recommend it!
