"I spent the most of the first half of my life believing in
Christianity and regarding belief in God as an essential component
of human existence," George Ricker says. "I've spent the last 30
years trying to understand why I ever thought that way. This book
is about how and why that process occurred. It's also about the
danger posed to our democratic society by fundamentalist religion."
Godless in America is a testimonial about the advantages of life
without gods and religions. It's also a no-holds-barred look at
some of the problems with both concepts. Written in a style that is
conversational, yet provocative, it is a candid assessment of the
real culture war being fought in America today: the attack being
waged by the Religious Right on the values of personal freedom,
democratic government, and the necessity for all Americans to be
treated as equals before the law and by their government.
At times humorous, at times outrageous, Godless in America
treats religion and religious concepts as ideas that should be
evaluated with the same standards used to evaluate all other ideas
and concepts, not from the privileged position claimed by so many
of a religious persuasion.
