Got a nice customer review on Amazon for Coming Out Atheist: How To Do It, How to Help Each Other Do It, And Why! Five stars out of five. (In fact, the book now has 35 customer reviews — and 30 of them are either four- or five-star!) Here’s what Carla A. Burris, a.k.a. “tekvet,” had to say:
Good read for closeted and out atheists alike
Even though this book is aimed at atheists/agnostics/humanists etc that are in the closet and are thinking about coming out, I still found it valuable from my out-and-vocal-for-years perspective. The closeted nonbeliever will find excellent advice on when, how, and if they should consider coming out. After outlining general advice that would apply to anyone, she drills down to special considerations for family, friends, students, women, POC, LBGT — even non-believing clergy.
As a very ‘out’ atheist, I didn’t expect to find a lot of information that applied to me, but I was wrong. Greta included chapters on helping others come out, community-building, and diversity considerations — all topics that resonated with me. The final section of the book includes an extensive list of resources from websites to books to podcasts that will be of interest to out and closeted atheists alike.
The best part about this book? Greta writes just as she speaks. It was like spending a few hours with her sitting behind my shoulder telling me stories and sharing what she’s learned.
Thanks, Carla! And if any of you have read Coming Out Atheist, it’d be awesome if you’d post a review.
