I have just published my first book, The Truth about God, which as you may have guessed is a defense of atheism. But – even though I don't consider myself to be in the closet with regards to my beliefs – I can't post the news on my personal Facebook page, nor have I told any of my neighbors about it (most of them would probably have no problem with it, but there are a few who almost certainly would, and that might affect my son's ability to play with some of his friends). And that just goes to show how much progress there is still to be made on this. The question whether or not there is a conscious being who is responsible for the existence of the universe should be treated like any other: it should be no more controversial than asking whether or not the universe is infinite, or when dodo birds became extinct. And yet, even though I don't live in the Bible belt and my book's main focus isn't the criticism of religion, I can't talk about it to people I speak with on a daily basis. Which is kind of ridiculous.
About my book: The Truth about God is a defense of an unusually strong type of atheism, since it argues that God isn't just unlikely, but is in fact impossible. In addition, it covers such topics as the fine-tuning argument, the basis of morality, the historical unreliability of the New Testament, the Kalam cosmological argument, a new problem of evil, the mind's dependence on the brain, and much more.
Most atheists maintain that one cannot prove the nonexistence of God, which is certainly understandable. If, however, you are convinced that such a proof is out of the question you should definitely read my book. See it on Amazon here.
