The Australian Book of Atheism

Edited by Warren Bonett

A variety of prominent overseas authors have made significant contributions to the general public conversation on belief and religion, but Australians have been somewhat less heard.

The Australian Book of Atheism aims to change that, gathering together an impressive collection of essays from pre-eminent Australian atheist, rationalist, secular, humanist, and skeptic thinkers, many of whom participated in the 2010 Global Atheist Convention in Melbourne.

The collection showcases a range of published authors, including Robyn Williams, Michael Bachelard, and Leslie Cannold, as well as new voices from the blogosphere and beyond, culminating in a diverse and entertaining read that canvasses the political, philosophical, educational, personal, historical, and social and cultural realms of belief and religion.

This is Scribe’s anti-Christmas book for 2010. It contains pieces by around 35 contributors.
