Acerca de esta escucha
“Asian American Apostate is a stunning contribution to the topic of deconstruction and leaving high-demand religion that for too long has been almost exclusively occupied by White voices.” (Bradley Onishi, host of Straight White American Jesus and author of Preparing for War: The Extremist History of White Christian Nationalism—and What Comes Next)
R. Scott Okamoto had no idea that his job as an English teacher at an evangelical Christian college meant facing bigotry as an Asian American and faux intellectualism as a teacher—and what it would mean for his own journey.
Asian American Apostate is a wry an ironic story of leaving religion while teaching at an evangelical university. Okamoto's often chilling accounts reveal that these schools, where prayer and trite theological debate erupts in any lecture, are anything but higher education. Stories range from a classroom declaration against interracial marriage because it causes painful pregnancies, to grading a paper entitled, “Why Obama Is a Nazi,” and to the times Okamoto, a popular teacher, was disciplined by school officials for keeping standards for writing. Okamoto's personal reporting gives you the inside story of how America’s evangelical schools encourage not a life of the mind but White cultural power. But more than that, you’ll see how Okamoto, despite personal and professional challenges, found clarity about who he was not, and who he was coming to be.
Listen along as Scott recounts his difficult, unlikely, and ultimately encouraging spiritual journey that will immerse you the search for a deeper and more expansive life.

The insurrection at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, was not a blip or an aberration. It was the logical outcome of years of a White evangelical subculture's preparation for war. Religion scholar and former insider Bradley Onishi maps the origins of White Christian nationalism and traces its offshoots in Preparing for War.

Inspired by her research for the hit podcast Ultra, Rachel Maddow charts the rise of a wild American strain of authoritarianism that has been alive on the far-right edge of our politics for the better part of a century. Before and even after our troops had begun fighting abroad in World War II, a clandestine network flooded the country with disinformation aimed at sapping the strength of the U.S. war effort and persuading Americans that our natural alliance was with the Axis, not against it.

An unmatched guide to the religious dimensions of American politics, Jeff Sharlet journeys into corners of our national psyche where others fear to tread. The Undertow is both inquiry and meditation, an attempt to understand how, over the last decade, reaction has morphed into delusion, social division into distrust, distrust into paranoia, and hatred into fantasies—sometimes realities—of violence.

Historia
Beginning with contemporary efforts to reckon with the legacy of white supremacy in America, Jones returns to the fateful year when a little-known church doctrine emerged that shaped the way five centuries of European Christians would understand the “discovered” world and the people who populated it. From this vantage point, Jones illuminates how the enslavement of Africans was not America’s original sin but, rather, the continuation of acts of genocide and dispossession flowing from the first European contact with Native Americans.

With a close and erudite reading of the major religious texts, he documents the ways in which religion is a man-made wish, a cause of dangerous sexual repression, and a distortion of our origins in the cosmos.

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. As she details the challenges and joys of fully embracing atheism—especially as a parent—Washington Post contributing columnist Kate Cohen does not dismiss religion as dangerous or silly. Instead, she investigates religion’s appeal in order to explain the ways we can thrive without it.

How did a libertine who lacks even the most basic knowledge of the Christian faith win 81 percent of the white evangelical vote in 2016? And why have white evangelicals become a presidential reprobate's staunchest supporters? Jesus and John Wayne is a sweeping account of the last 75 years of white evangelicalism, showing how American evangelicals have worked for decades to replace the Jesus of the Gospels with an idol of rugged masculinity and Christian nationalism.

While the aim of the audiobook is to initiate a much-needed conversation between Christians and atheists, it will be up to each of us to carry the discussion forward.

Historia
Jeanna Kadlec knew what it meant to be faithful--in her marriage to a pastor’s son, in the comfortable life ahead of her, in her God--but there was no denying the truth that lived under that conviction: she was queer and, if she wanted to survive, she would need to leave behind the church and every foundational building block she knew. Heretic is a memoir of rebirth. Within, Kadlec reckons with religious trauma and Midwestern values, as a means of unveiling how evangelicalism directly impacts every American--religious or not--and has been a major force in driving our democracy towards fascism.

Seth Andrews wasn't an idiot during his 30 years as an evangelical Christian. He wasn't unintelligent, nor did his IQ shift when he ultimately left religion entirely. He considered himself thoughtful, moral, reasonable, and at least as smart as the average person. In other words, he wasn't an idiot. Yet strangely, he often sounded like one.

In the 1990s, a “purity industry” emerged out of the white evangelical Christian culture. Purity rings, purity pledges, and purity balls came with a dangerous message: girls are potential sexual “stumbling blocks” for boys and men, and any expression of a girl’s sexuality could reflect the corruption of her character. This message traumatized many girls - resulting in anxiety, fear, and experiences that mimicked the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder - and trapped them in a cycle of shame.

Historia
Beyond memoir, this guidebook offers practical advice on everything from "How to Be the Black Friend" to "How to Be the (Next) Black President" to "How to Celebrate Black History Month".

With honest storytelling and biting wit, Baratunde plots a path not just to blackness, but one open to anyone interested in simply "how to be".

Historia
What does it mean to be an adult? In the 20th century, psychologists came up with five markers of adulthood: finish your education, get a job, leave home, marry, and have children. Since then, every generation has been held to those same markers. Yet so much has changed about the world and living in it since that sequence was formulated. All of those markers are choices, and they’re all valid, but any one person’s choices along those lines do not make them more or less an adult.

One of the BEST books on religious deconstruction!
I related to this book on SO many levels: as an Asian American, as a former evangelical active in my college days with InterVarsity, as someone who has thoroughly - but is still actively - deconstructing his faith, and as an ally to the LGBTQ+ community. Okamoto nails all of it so well.
With humor and keen analysis, Okamoto's experiences at "EVU" shine a damning light on the myriad ways in which American Evangelical Christianity is structured as a straight, white, cis, middle-class, capitalist, conservative institution at the expense of all other groups that dare to challenge that culture and hierarchy. It is shocking yet not at all surprising to hear about how much outright hypocrisy and bigotry he faced at EVU as liberal, Asian-American professor from both the faculty and students. Okamoto is an unsung hero for challenging the racist and homophobic status quo in evangelicalism.
This book is revealing, hilarious, and infuriating all at the same time. It is a must read for anyone who is deconstructing their faith or seeking to understand those who are deconstructing.

The Secret Life of an Evangelical College
I heard Mr. Okamoto on a podcast and the stories he told about his time as a professor at an Evangelical College were both amusing and shocking. This book lived up to my expectations and surpassed them. The world of Evangelical Christians is stranger than us outsiders can ever imagine. Professor Okamoto does his best to educate his students previously unchallenged in their worldviews by homeschooling or Christian high schools. He is a compassionate soul who does his best to mentor the BiPOC & LGBTQ students in a college that disdains their very existence. This is a rich, humorous, thoughtful memoir and I strongly recommend it to anyone interested in learning more about Evangelical Christians.

Upbeat book about sad subject
Written in more upbeat tone than other writings about th8s group. Ctainly confirms the author's claim that, for 15 years, he delivered spellbinding lectures to his college English students. My life, irreparably scarred by the author's inquisitors. Mercifully, I've been out of country x 20 years, so missed the details of the evangelicals' machinations in since year 2000. I'm very old, first birth into evangelical home (but NOT born again.) Of course, all that hecsays is 100% compatible with my own "all too many" years with that group. I've been on the WRONG side of every single issue ever promukgated by this group, even personally attending a breakfast meeting with famed C, Everett Koop at an anti-antiabortion rally! Yes, similar shenanigans drove me "kicking and screaming" OUT of Christianity.
