Red Neck, Blue Collar, Atheist - Simple Thoughts About Reason, Gods
and Faith follows in the footsteps of recent best-sellers such as
Christopher Hitchens' God is Not Great, Richard Dawkins' The God
Delusion, and Sam Harris' The End of Faith. Whereas Dawkins,
Hitchens and Harris have written mainly about the rational basis,
the WHY of atheism, this book looks at the HOW - how it feels, how
it works, from the inside. Coming from a writer who grew up in
Texas and worked as a real cowboy and draft horse teamster (the
cover picture even shows the author riding a bull ), as well as a
carpenter, roofer and truck driver, the book is based on decades of
examining the process in his own mind as he moved from Christianity
to atheism. Putting it simply, here are some of the things an
atheist might think, and the way he or she might think them. More
than once called a master of metaphor in the blogosphere, author
Hank Fox tackles the subject of atheism with subtle humor and a
friendly, informal tone, in two dozen chapters with names like
Sundae Worship, The Parable of the M&Ms, Batman Almighty, The
Wellspring of the Gods, Sucking Up to the Virgin Mary, The Evidence
of True Things, The Headwaters of Reality, Hello Mr. Death, and
Saying Goodbye to Gods. Primarily aimed at young adults, especially
those from religious backgrounds and new to thinking about atheism
and freethought, this book will also provide ammunition for those
of a more intellectual bent faced with the necessity of explaining
atheism in simple terms to friends and relatives. Best of all, the
book focuses not just on the negatives of religion, but on the
positives of atheism - the freedom and mental clarity for
individuals, but also the hopeful future for our entire world as we
proceed with a social revolution already in progress.
