Freethought

[close] We read books on science.

[close] This group is for followers of any religion, atheists, agnostics, and anyone else with questions or concerns about faith. If there's anything you want to learn about another belief system, or if there's anything you want to share with others about your own belief system, this group is for you. This group was created in response to a series of posts by Christians on an atheist board and by atheists on a Christian board, but people of any religious persuasion are welcome. This group is neutral ground; no one is expected to be deferential to anyone else on the basis of religious faith. This group is not ideal for the easily-offended or the incurious.

[close] Lending Library. Books of interest to doubters, skeptics, freethinkers, left-handed trombonists, and all curious readers in the area. This is an open group. If you join, others will see that. Ed believes that transparency and honesty make for a better community and better world. But in some circles it can cause problems if you're seen associating with unbelievers. If you are not out to your loved ones, do not join this group. You can still view the Group Bookshelf: it's open for all to see. View the books, make personal requests (email, phone, or in person) to borrow. Nobody will know.

[close] Through 25 personal narratives, Generation Atheist tells their stories. The people in this book come from different religious upbringings, races, sexual orientations, and genders. Many have gone through very emotional journeys in coming to a sustained, open atheistic worldview. Most were quite religious at one point in their lives. Through the internet, humanity is engaged in a global conversation unlike any before in history -- about who we are, why we are here, and how we should live -- and these individuals have an important perspective to share. Ask Dan Riley, the author of Generation Atheist, about where he got the idea for the book, about his own beliefs and about atheism in general. generationatheistbook.com
