'I spent the most of the first half of my life believing in Christianity and regarding belief in God as an essential component of human existence,' George Ricker says. 'I’ve spent the last 30 years trying to understand why I ever thought that way. This book is about how and why that process occurred. It’s also about the danger posed to our democratic society by fundamentalist religion.'Godless in America is a testimonial about the advantages of life without gods and religions. It’s also a no-holds-barred look at some of the problems with both concepts. Written in a style that is conversational, yet provocative, it is a candid assessment of the real culture war being fought in America today: the attack being waged by the Religious Right on the values of personal freedom, democratic government, and the necessity for all Americans to be treated as equals before the law and by their government.At times humorous, at times outrageous, Godless in America treats religion and religious concepts as ideas that should be evaluated with the same standards used to evaluate all other ideas and concepts, not from the privileged position claimed by so many of a religious persuasion.
