Mom, Dad, I'm an Atheist / Hypatia Press (ePub)

This essential guide to coming-out as a non-believer has been written to make

it easier for atheists, agnostics, freethinkers, and non-believers of all ages

and backgrounds to be open about their non-religiosity while minimizing

the negative interactions in familial, social, and professional circles.

As a survival guide for non-believers who wish to come out, this book

provides advice and resources for those interested in publicly rejecting

religious dogma as well as real stories from non-believers who have

experienced coming-out to less-than-supportive family or friends.

Whether you're new to disbelief and looking for the cleanest possible

break from your former faith or you're a lifelong atheist who wants to

establish a sense of community with like-minded people, this guide

provides useful resources including:tips for handling potential conflicts

with believers, the author's answers to some of the most frequently asked

questions on behalf of believers, and numerous references to support

groups, services, and advocacy organizations dedicated to non-theists.

From dealing with grief from a secular perspective to handling potential

clashes in religious worldviews between significant others, this book offers

multiple perspectives from non-religious individuals who have

generously shared their experiences to help those atheists who may find

themselves in similar situations.
