Why Are You Atheists So Angry?

99 Things That Piss Off the Godless

By: Greta Christina

Narrated by: Greta Christina

Why are atheists angry? Is it because they're selfish, joyless, lacking in meaning, and alienated from God? Or is it because they have legitimate reasons to be angry - and are ready to do something about it? 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 - and gives a voice to millions of angry atheists.

Critic reviews

"I found this book informative and enraging! Leave it to Greta to inform and elucidate like no other. I highly recommend this book to everyone, everywhere. And I hope never to get Greta angry at me. :)" (David Silverman, President, American Atheists)

"Greta Christina’s analysis of religion is acute and witty, and at the same time fair and compassionate. And I'm jealous: I sure wish I could write as well as she does." (Alan Sokal, Professor of Physics, New York University)

Try it - Regardless of your theistic stand

This book raised many critical questions that both theist and atheist should listen too. Whilst being more prescriptive on the atheist side (understandable given the title and intent), this book also has a elements of science which is neutral. The narrator / author sometimes maximises intonation it almost feels like a conversation (one sided of course - given it s an audio-book).

a must read for the faithfull and faithless

a lot of true points and strong ideas. even if you are a frue beliver in faith a must read

The perfect book for me

I love this book so much... if I could afford to set up a foundation to buy this book for anyone who wanted a copy I would. As a free thinking atheist I certainly don't agree with every sentence in this book, but being able to disagree with even one is important.
Thank you Greta. We each evolve in to godlessness in our own way, and this was not the one thing that convinced me... reading the Bible 40 years ago started me on that journey. It took about 5 years, mostly college, and many OTHER religious texts to realize it was ALL hogwash. Then it took me another 10 years for me to even come out to my closest nonreligious friends...
Thank you, Greta for this final summation of so many true things and why we should not believe or support the untrue. I will buy many copies to keep in my bookshelf and when someone asks me 'Why so many copies? ' I'll say 'Like so many other books I've enjoyed I want to be able to share this with those who show interest. Please take a copy of you are interested.'
1984, Enders Game, The Social Contract, Stranger in a Strange Land, Brave New World... these are the books I rate this with...

On target!

I was never able to express why I've been so angry over religions...until this book. It's as if the author could read my mind EXACTLY.

Less Angry Now

Having had the benefit of listening to Greta Christina's thesis, I am more athiest and less angry than I might otherwise have been had I continued to avoid the debate. She makes a strong argument for taking the fight to the barricades of religion, orthodox and unorthodox alike. I'm not sure I'm up for the fight on the front line (in fact I'm sure that I am not), but I won't be slinking off (as I did) to buy the next round if the fight comes to me!
The arguments are of course made to the converted, so they go down easily with me, but they are worth hearing in this considered way, in one collective mass. There's no new argument, but there is no new argument to refute, either.
The author's reading is an important part of her message. She happens to sound like a friend and colleague of mine, so it was like having a discussion with her and so, so easy to listen to.
I agree that there are many more than 99 ways to piss-off the godless, but this book is not one of them. I thoroughly recommend it to athiests, people who say they are agnostic (as I did many years ago when I was unsatisfied by the religion that I was being taught in Secondary School), true believers and believers, perhaps not alike, but just the same. You may not like what she says, but if you're honest about it, you'll admit that she has a fine way of saying it.
