Good Without God: What a Billion Nonreligious People Do Believe
by Greg Epstein
In Good Without God, Greg Epstein presents another, more balanced and inclusive response: Humanism. With a focus on the positive, he highlights humanity's potential for goodness and the ways in which Humanists lead lives of purpose and compassion. Humanism can offer the sense of community we want and often need in good times and bad, as we celebrate marriages and the birth of our children, and as we care for those who are elderly or sick. In short, Humanism teaches us that we can lead good and moral lives without supernaturalism, without higher powers . . . without God.

The New Atheism: Taking a Stand for Science and Reason
by Victor J. Stenger
In this new book, Victor J. Stenger, whose God: The Failed Hypothesis was on the New York Times bestseller list in 2007, reviews and expands upon the principles of New Atheism and answers many of its critics. He demonstrates in detail that naturalism--the view that all of reality is reducible to matter and nothing else--is sufficient to explain everything we observe in the universe, from the most distant galaxies to the inner workings of the brain that result in the phenomenon of mind.

US Governor Strikes Atheist in Anger |

US Florida Governor Charlie Crist has been accused of striking an individual for identifying himself as an atheist during a campaign event held in St. Petersburg, Florida.
A member of Atheists of Florida - an AAI affiliate - reported that he unexpectedly came across a campaign event being held for Governor Charlie Crist upon leaving a pizzeria in St. Petersburg on Friday, March 5, 2010. At the event, the individual found a chance to introduce himself to the governor and, shaking his hand, asked the Governor if "he really believes that the letters he sent to Jerusalem prevent hurricanes from hitting Florida".
After a heated and brief discussion with the Governor, the individual identified himself as not believing in God; to which the Governor struck the individual, tearing off a "Charlie Christ for US Senate 2010" from the individual's chest, then screaming at the victim that he "feels sorry for" him before turning his back to the victim to continue his campaign event.
Atheists of Florida is demanding an official apology for this outrageous behavior. It was noted by some that the battery, associated with the denigration of the victim's religious worldview, could be considered a hate crime in Florida according to Florida statute 877.19. Imagine if any public official had reacted this way to a Jew or a Muslim expressing their worldview, by invading their personal space to rip off a campaign sticker, then screaming that he "feels sorry" for them.
