Why Are You Atheists So Angry?

Why are atheists angry? Is it because they're selfish, joyless, lacking in meaning, and alienated from God?

Armed with passionate outrage, absurdist humor, and calm intelligence, popular blogger Greta Christina makes a powerful case for outspoken atheist activism, and explains the empathy and justice that drive it. This accessible, personal, down-to-earth book speaks not only to atheists, but also to believers who want to understand the so-called new atheism. Why Are You Atheists So Angry? drops a bombshell on the destructive force of religious faith#&8212;and gives a voice to millions of angry atheists.
