Or is it because they have legitimate reasons to be angry - and are ready to do something about it? Armed with passionate outrage, absurdist humor, and calm intelligence, popular blogger Greta Christina makes a powerful case for outspoken atheist activism, and explains the empathy and justice that drive it. This accessible, personal, down-to-earth book speaks not only to atheists, but also to believers who want to understand the so-called new atheism.

You Are Not Alive: The Illusion of Consciousness and Free Will A dark, blisteringly honest philosophy book that dares to say what the self-help aisle never will. What if everything you believe about yourself—your identity, your choices, your soul—is a lie? What if consciousness isn’t magic, but math? Not light, but glitch? Not purpose, but pattern? In this provocative philosophical manifesto, philosopher Jason Ostendorf dismantles the comfortable illusions of modern life—free will, morality, meaning, even love—and offers something more brutal, more beautiful, and far more liberating: truth.

Even though a growing number of Americans don’t believe in god, many remain reluctant to say so out loud. Kate Cohen argues that not only is it rewarding for those of little faith to announce themselves, it’s crucial to our country’s future.

Instead, she investigates religion’s appeal in order to explain the ways we can thrive without it.
