We of Little Faith: Why I Stopped Pretending to Believe (and Maybe You Should Too)

Summary

An impassioned atheist’s rallying cry for nonbelievers to be honest with themselves and their families about their lack of beliefs—and in so doing help change the American cultural conversation.

Even as a growing number of Americans don’t believe in God, many are reticent to actually say so. Kate Cohen argues it’s not only time for those of little faith to proudly announce themselves, it’s crucial to our country’s future.

In her exuberant dive into the joy of fully embracing atheism, including as a parent, Washington Post contributing columnist Kate Cohen does not dismiss all religion as evil or ridiculous. Instead, Cohen investigates religion’s appeal in order to explain the ways we can thrive without it. Atheists, agnostics, and religious skeptics all should read this book.
