Download Nonbeliever Nation: The Rise of Secular Americans AudioBook Free
A new band of Americans is challenging the reign of the Spiritual Right. Today, almost one in five Americans are nonbelievers - a rapidly growing group at a time when traditional Religious churches are dwindling in figures - and they're flexing their muscles like nothing you've seen prior. Yet we still see almost none of them openly offering in elected office, while Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum, and many others continue steadily to loudly proclaim the myth of America as a Religious nation. In Nonbeliever Country, leading secular advocate David Niose explores what this new make in politics opportinity for the unchallenged dominance of the religious Right. Hitting on all the hot-button issues that divide the united states - from gay marriage to education insurance policy to contentious church-state battles - he shows how this activity is gaining traction, and fighting for its privileges. Now, Secular Americans - an organization comprised not only of atheists and agnostics, but lapsed Catholics, secular Jews, and millions of others who have walked from faith - are mobilizing and forming organizations all over the country (even atheist night clubs in Bible-belt high institutions) to test the exaltation of faith in American politics and general population life. This is a timely and important look at how growing amounts of nonbelievers, disenchanted at how far America has wandered from its secular roots, are rising to fight for equality and logical public policy.
