Hi, I'm an Atheist!

What That Means and How to Talk About It with Others

De: David G. McAfee

Narrado por: Rich Miller

The essential guide to coming out as a non-believer

David McAfee was raised in a conservative American Christian household. So when he stopped believing in God - any god - his family was shocked. He quickly realized that atheists are misunderstood, frequently thought of as Satan worshippers and anarchists. Thus started McAfee's journey to his true self, and crusade to tell others - especially those who are devoutly religious - what atheism really is, what he believes in, and why atheists should not be feared.

In Hi, I'm an Atheist!, McAfee looks at what an atheist believes and how to “come out” as an atheist to your friends, family, and co-workers, offering sound advice on overcoming the difficult moments in any “coming out” conversation. Including a resource guide both for people just coming to atheism and people who have been atheists for years, as well as an interview with Rebecca Vitsmun, the woman made famous for coming out as an atheist live on CNN, Hi I’m an Atheist! is a smart, sensitive, and realistic guide to living one’s life positively and honestly without the need for a belief in God.

Another great book from McAfee

David McAfee’s “Hi, I’m an Atheist” is a great book that, not only every believer wanting to build bridges with their disbelieving neighbors should read, but every atheist that’s ready to be open about it. Or especially for those who’ve recently come to terms with their disbelief.
Serving as an extension from a previous book (Mom, Dad, I’m an Atheist), McAfee walks the reader through the questions, judgement, and anxieties of being openly atheist. He speaks with other non-believers to have their story shared; showing the human side to the title and the real struggles many cope with in order to be authentic. But some of those struggles, he points out, are purely worries that never bloom into real problems.
The same goes for believers. No, we don’t worship the devil. No, we don’t *want* to sin. But let’s grab a coffee and talk about “Hi, I’m an Atheist”.

Thoughtfully and intelligently prepared

Well thought out and informative, chapter 14 is definitely my favorite. It purposefully and thoughtfully challenges the doctrines of religion that persecute so many, and gave me eloquent answers on how to approach my family.

informative

it's a great book full of resources for atheists and theists alike, reminds me of the stigma facing atheists and humanists in general too.

Excellent! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book put into words everything I’ve felt but didn’t know how to express. ❤️ just ordered the physical book as well as everything else from this author.

Needed this book

Knowing how to navigate the coming out process is hard. Society wants to force us to be silent. Dealing with extremely religious people/family is not easy and often hostile when you decide to be open with who you are. This book helps navigate that process so we can better handle liberating ourselves from a societal pressure to conform to religious beliefs. We should not be forced to remain silent. I highly recommend this book for anyone tired of living their atheist life in secret, and needing guidance on how to handle the backlash that comes with it.

Outstanding Listen

Held my interest from beginning to end. A quick listen for a short trip or a commute spread over a couple of works days. Seat back and enjoy it on a flight. Information was sound and informative.

Informational gold mine

Highly recommended reading. Book is well organized, thoughtfully written, well researched, and most useful. Excellent resource chapter.
