Its an inspiring book that will-hopefully-push us toward a larger cultural conversation in which atheism isnt seen as a dirty word.-The HumanistAmerica doesnt need more God. It needs more atheists. Heres an impassioned call for nonbelievers to be honest with themselves and their families about their lack of belief-and help change the American cultural conversation.Even though a growing number of Americans dont believe in god, many remain reluctant to say so out loud. Kate Cohen argues that not only is it rewarding for those of little faith to announce themselves, its crucial to our countrys future.As she details the challenges and joys of fully embracing atheism-especially as a parent-Washington Post contributing columnist Kate Cohen does not dismiss religion as dangerous or silly. Instead, she investigates religions appeal in order to explain the ways we can thrive without it.Americans who dont believe in god call themselves atheists, agnostics, humanists, skeptics, and freethinkers. Sometimes they are called nones, based on the box they checked on a survey identifying their religion. And sometimes they call themselves Jewish, Christian, Muslim, or Buddhist.Whatever you call yourself, if you dont believe theres a supernatural being in charge of the universe, its time to join the chorus of We of Little Faith.
