Book excerpt: So you're an atheist. Now what? The way we deal with life -- with love and sex, pleasure and death, reality and making stuff up --can change dramatically when we stop believing in gods, souls, and afterlives. When we leave religion -- or if we never had it in the first place--where do we go? With her unique blend of compassion and humor, thoughtfulness and snark, Greta Christina most emphatically does not propose a single path to a good atheist life. She offers questions to think about, ideas that may be useful, and encouragement to choose your own way. She addresses complex issues in an accessible, down-to-earth style, including: Why we're here, Sexual transcendence, How humanism helps with depression -- except when it doesn't, Stealing stuff from religion, and much more. Aimed at new and not-so-new atheists, questioning and curious believers, Christina shines a warm, fresh light on the only life we have.
