The essential guide to coming out as a non-believer
David McAfee was raised in a conservative American Christian household. So when he stopped believing in God - any god - his family was shocked. He quickly realized that atheists are misunderstood, frequently thought of as Satan worshippers and anarchists. Thus started McAfee’s journey to his true self, and crusade to tell others - especially those who are devoutly religious - what atheism really is, what he believes in, and why atheists should not be feared.
In Hi, I’m an Atheist!, McAfee looks at what an atheist believes and how to “come out” as an atheist to your friends, family, and co-workers, offering sound advice on overcoming the difficult moments in any “coming out” conversation. Including a resource guide both for people just coming to atheism and people who have been atheists for years, as well as an interview with Rebecca Vitsmun, the woman made famous for coming out as an atheist live on CNN, Hi I’m an Atheist! is a smart, sensitive, and realistic guide to living one’s life positively and honestly without the need for a belief in God.

Ah yes, that endless contradiction - the evangelical unbeliever :D
February 21st, 2022
Many atheists have died and come back (Howard Storm is a good example). You can see their YouTube videos and they describe their experiences. Others write about it. It is all there to read and learn from. All of them are no longer atheists. They found out they were very wrong. Should they all just simply be ignored? These very real experiences should just be ignored? Sounds very dishonest to me. “God” is not something (or someone) you believe in, God is something you experience. And it can be very profound. This is not something I would want to reject in the same way that I do not reject oxygen. I can’t see it, but I am sure as heck gonna breathe it in! Cheers.

@chrissy You belong in the Dark Ages. @callmebill You belong in a mental ward. god is nonsense - a fiction - and evangelicals like you need medical help. I would also deny you oxygen but that’s just me! LOL!

@merkis You are right on the money. I would say these people will be surprised to find out what happens after they die But They will be dead, period, end of story.
Fellow Atheist.

I’ve never been able to understand how anybody can remain an atheist when the Koran is so full of scientific truths.

I’ve never been able to understand how anybody can remain a believer of any religion when there is zero truths from any religion. It’s like being a republican, nothing but lies.

I’ve never felt anything but pity for atheists. To be so devoid of hope and empty of any future, it’s not hard to understand why they’re all so angry and try so desperately to disparage everyone else. Yes, truly those are the saddest of all people.

sorry to invade another title but why was that book on the Holocaust removed, are we back to book burning, what happened to freedom of academic inquiry, what happened to constitutional rights in US? The book is highly informative, it challenges the accepted narrative but in an unbiased, measured tone of scientific objectivity, it’s not denying anything, it’s just questioning certain aspects of the mainstream version, which has been revised many times anyway. But it’s not about the book, it’s about the principle, since when is thinking critically considered “hateful”? Is healthy skepticism off the table, are there sacred dogmas in society, subject-matters beyond scrutiny? Can any thinking person really support this? Saddened by this, I’m from Europe and we’ve never really had freedom of speech so we looked at America with such respect for its commitment tofreedom of thought.

@delzog You would probably consider me an atheist, though I am no more an Atheist than I am an aSantaist or AEasterBunnyist, and I’m not sad at all. True, I don’t go around believing stuff just because it might make happier or give me hope. I try to believe stuff that seems well, you know, _true_, stuff that has some evidence, that isn’t wildly self-contradictory, or just plain bizarre. Personally I think future oblivion is a much more reassuring thought than any afterlife I’ve ever heard of. There’s literally _nothing_ to fear. As for God, in most versions he’s clearly an asshole. If I didn’t just think he didn’t exist, I’d at least hope he didn’t. I’ll admit I do get annoyed at holier than thou people who think “belief” is some higher form of thought, but I try to keep a lid on it. I’ve accepted that trying to argue with religious people is a hopeless cause, and I generally resist the temptation. But please don’t try to shovel your scorn or pity in my direction, or at my children. We don’t deserve or desire your “pity”. Have a happy day!

If you are an Atheist fine, but if you do not believe in something, why the heck do you want’t to talk so much about it.
I once had an Atheist facebook magician friend shout at me in block capitals on facebook over a comment as I do not consider myself an atheist as a none believer in any God, he ranted and ranted and said “but you are an Atheist if you do not believe in God” He insisted on giving me a Atheist title!
I replied, if I was going to have a title for my beliefs or lack of them, it would be , not Atheist. He shut up then. You always know Atheists, as they tell you, all the bloody time, Atheists are their own religion that ridicule other religions, just like… all religions do!
Derren Brown, Ricky Gervais,Penn Jillete spend hours ridiculing people who believe in a God or Gods, so what, let people believe in whatever they want to believe in, as long as they are not hurting others, does it really matter.
All the religious people I know, cover dozens of different religious beliefs, and thankfully none of them are extremists, give me a dozen different friends with a dozen different religious beliefs over one Atheist friend anytime, why? Because the religious ones never talk about their beliefs, but Atheists never bloody stop! Rant over.

How bizarre, one of my words was auto deleted in the previous post, so lets see if it happens again, I’ll use a hyphen just in case, the sentence was “I replied, if I was going to have a title for my beliefs or lack of them, it would be Ap-atheist, not Atheist.

I don’t know why it’s so hard for people to understand how there could be an audience for this book.
Anybody who grew up in the American south (or just about any part of the world aside from a few Western countries) would get tremendous pushback for not believing in whatever it is they are supposed to believe in. I know from experience.
The only part of the summary above I’m surprised about is how the author could possibly have been shocked when he “came out”. I knew better than to tell anyone. I didn’t tell anyone I didn’t believe in God till I was more than 30 yo, and I still don’t tell most people.

@mindreading. Are you seriously saying that all the atheists you know are always going on about it? Where do you live, the Spanish Inquisition? I know hundreds (thousands?) of people who don’t have a religion or belief in God and it literally never comes up. We have better things to talk about.
The fact that people of radically different, even mutually exclusive, faiths can now get along is healthier on the whole, and definitely better than religious wars, but it is a bit odd. It’s as if what they believe is not any particular faith, but belief itself. Or is it just anti-atheism?

I do not understand the total belief, either for or against, in an unknown subject.
I WILL say that I do not know, but that I am not shuttered.
If some weird being interfered with primeval apes to create humankind I hope it eventually feels pity, makes copious notes, cancels the experiment, and starts again somewhere else.

@donleavy. I agree with you in principle, but I find it annoying that atheists are often dismissed as extremists by agnostics. To be an atheist is not to say that is is impossible that some greater intelligence created reality, only to say that there is no evidence for it, hence no reason to believe it. There ARE reams of evidence that most religions and spiritual belief systems are full of obvious, unsupported BS and that people “believe” in them anyways.
In short, I believe in human gullibility way more than I believe that a god is even remotely likely to exist. That’s not quite the same as saying “I just don’t know, maybe there is a god”.

@mindreading idk which atheists your talking to, because one of the greatest benefits of Atheism is yu don’t have to talk about god or worry about having it shoved I’m my face on a daily basis.
March 29th, 2023
@mindreading that said, your the one who feels it’s necessary to post multiple comments underneath an Atheist book. You talk about Atheists not being able to not talk about it, yet here YOU ARE adding your 2 cents to a discussion where your only goal is to put it down, troll much?
