Synopsis

Fighting God is a firebrand manifesto from one of the most recognizable faces of atheism. In his audiobook, Silverman—a walking, talking atheist billboard known for his appearances on Fox News—discusses the effectiveness, ethics, and impact of the in-your-face-atheist who refuses to be silent.Silverman argues that religion is more than just wrong: it is malevolent and does not deserve our respect. It is our duty to be outspoken and do what we can to bring religion down. Examining the mentality, methods, and issues facing the firebrand atheist, Silverman presents an overwhelming argument for firebrand atheism and reveals:• All religion is cafeteria religion and all agnostics are atheists.
• American society grants religion a privileged status, despite the intentions of the Founding Fathers.
• Christian politicians have adversely (and un-Constitutionally) affected our society with regard to science, health, women's rights, and gay rights.
• The notion of "atheist Jews" is a lie forced on us by religion.
• It is not "Islamophobia" to observe dangerous teachings and disproportionate violence in Islam.
• Atheists are slowly but surely winning the battle.Fighting God is a provocative, unapologetic audiobook that takes religion to task and will give inspiration to non-believers and serve as the ultimate answer to apologists.

Goodreads review by Gayle on October 23, 2015

No bones about it. David Silverman IS Fighting God. In this manifesto, Silverman tells us, topic by topic, why he does what he does. As president of American Atheists, Silverman is the head of the largest, and likely most militant and litigious, atheist organization in the world. And he’s over it. He’......more

Goodreads review by Michael on October 01, 2015

A fun read that best explains strategy for atheists to "come out of the closet" and fight for their rights here in America. Unlike other similar books, this one isn't so much about convincing others that atheists are right but instead contains strategies on how to talk about atheism and take action.......more

Goodreads review by Teresa on January 02, 2021

A re-read many years later. I am still an Atheist, and still anti-religion, more so now than earlier in my life and still unable to be an in your face angry atheist. A good book, but not one of the best. My problem is now I feel pity for those that need imaginary support and approval. So much could b......more

Goodreads review by Arianne on November 17, 2023

Religion is Dehumanization What if God Exists? I was looking forward to reading this book, so imagine my disappointment at reading on page 3, “If any god, anywhere, were proven real even once, I would convert, quit my job, and donate all the proceeds of this book to that correct god’s religion.” This......more
