How I Opened My Mind and Let God Out

An Electrician's Road to Atheism

By: Frank Lerant

Narrated by: Frank Lerant

A six-month debate at work with a religious fundamentalist led to years of research and contemplation resulting in the author's journey towards Atheism. The three great monotheisms are picked apart, exposing their shortfalls via their own texts, world history, philosophy, and thought-provoking hypotheticals. If your brilliant logical brain is ready to be freed, you have come to the right place. This book will help you quell the doubt and fear associated with leaving the credulous herd.

very informative

very interesting dive into religion and the contradiction of how it is viewed and used in modern times. worth a read or a listen if you are on the fence about your faith or want to hear a different view on it.

thorough and persuasive

Frank Lerant has done his research and has written a very compelling case against religion and theism. He gets into the core of several mainstream religions and points out all their illogical errors and problematic beliefs. He makes a convincing argument on how religion and a theistic worldview have brought more harm and suffering than progress and blessing to this planet and our species.

Boot camp for atheists

Excellent training for atheists, multiple sources cited for continued training; narration excellent. Another great book the seduction of religion.

Brings a lot to light !

This book brings so much to light for all atheist on the edge. You go through life with people pushing God onto you and looking at you like you’re crazy for not believing. A book like this just helps you prove that you are not crazy and that if you can’t see what’s right in front of you, it’s time to open your eyes!!

Question Everything

I really appreciated this book. However, I think it’s important not to put too much faith in anything, including “science.” I am an atheist, but I am also very skeptical of science. We have had science “prove” that sugar was okay and that fat made us fat, for example. When the author brought up how religious people gathered during covid and “ignored science,” I was put off but perhaps he has more knowledge now on the subject as well. As a conservative atheist, I felt a little defensive but it doesn’t discredit the information in this book. I really enjoyed listening to it and am looking forward to listening to Sam Harris next.

Very well done!

I was impressed! Although a little cautious before ordering due to an unfamiliar name and not many ratings, I am glad i listened to this.

I am an ex-christian. I was an avid believer for 40 years, till nothing made sense anymore.. I stopped believing in god about 3 years ago (age 57 at the time), and as i reflect back, i regret ever starting down the god path.

Frank speaks clearly, touches on a lot of aspects of faith, religion, reason, atheism, and goes deep enough into each area to demonstrate competence, but not too deep to lose my interest. I like the fact that he is a tradesman, maybe that helped me relate.. We use reason and evidence in all aspects of our lives, why then do we throw it out when we talk about Religion?

Frank did his homework. Lots of references and quotes. and also near end has great section on some of country's founders and their cautions against religion (at least as relates to state), and also at end names some of other great thinkers and writers.

Well done!

Highly recommended

I found this audio book to be well written, researched and presented. I would highly recommend it.

Religion and its dark side.

I found this book to be an incredible journey into the dark side of religions and their hold on the mind and systematic destruction of the human race. This book is for anyone who wants to learn about religion and more importantly, for those who want to challenge the status quo of their religion. Just about anyone looking for a good read should give this book a try.

Free thinking 101

I love this book. If you are on the fence about leaving religion then this should be the first book you read. I now have no regrets about becoming a free thinker and an official atheist. It’s taken years of reprogramming for me. This book has given me the courage to officially and confidentially “pull the plug” on religion. Thank you!

Well done.

This audio book was very well written and narrated. The book brings up some very interesting and thought provoking topics. I enjoyed this audio book and would recommend it to anyone interested in the topic. (even if your not an electrician)
