Synopsis

The essential guide to coming out as a non-believer.

David G. McAfee was raised in a conservative American Christian household, so one day, when he stopped going to church—and revealed he didn't believe in gods—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 his 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 this plainspoken and approachable audiobook, McAfee looks at what an atheist believes and the best way to “come out” as an atheist to one’s friends, family, and co-workers. He acknowledges the challenges atheists encounter in talking to others about their beliefs and offers sound advice on how to overcome 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.

As a atheist my self I'm so glad that this book is around. I really liked how each chapter starts with a quote, and the chapter on building or joining a community of like-minded people was interesting and helpful. However there was allot of repeated sentences.......more

I received a digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I’ll admit, when I saw the bright, cheery cover of this book, I thought this was going to be a fun, quirky, albeit maybe a little tongue-in-cheek guide for atheists on how to come out to their religious family mem......more

Goodreads review by Kerry on June 23, 2021

This book doesn't try to convince you that there's no god, but it does give some great advice on how to talk to other people about your non-belief. Though written for an atheist audience, theists may find it interesting, as well!......more

Lots of atheist info and anecdotes, explains how to explain your non-sky daddy beliefs to others...if you give half a shit what other people think. It's like an atheists starter kit but, does contain info off you're looking for the like-minded. Really, just don't go to church and hang out with heath......more
