'Illuminates the route to a better destination for all those who seek what Alom found: namely, that precious liberty of mind which makes its possessor open to all good things.’

'Insightful, conversational, intelligent, enlightening, intimate, and just plain eye-opening. Shaha opens his life, his heart, and his mind to us in a compelling journey towards unbelief.'

'An honest and often very moving story about valuing truth over hope, even in the face of grief.'

'Moving, heartwarming, and thoughtful. Alom’s honest journey of why and how he has freed himself from religion will surely empower and inspire.'

'A book that destroys the cliche of the atheist as joyless rationalist and shows the humanity, love and concern that often lies behind godless thinking.'

‘Frisbee your skullcap, grill up a bacon sandwich, and enjoy The Young Atheist’s Handbook.’

'A touching personal account that makes for a courageous and compelling read. This is among the most powerful and convincing arguments against religion I have come across, written in a way that is never patronising or trivialising. '

'Alom Shaha has shrugged off the shackles of poverty, racism and, most of all, religious supersitition to begin to fulfill his potential as a human being. In this wise, compassionate, honest and often heartbreaking book, he tells of his remarkable journey ... It took a lot of guts to 'come out' as a nonbeliever, but Shaha did it to show others who harbour doubts about their faith that they are not alone. An important and courageous book.'

'Alom's circumstances will be shared by many young people from Muslim backgrounds... His personal account of his own experiences will be an indispensable source of comfort for them and a movingly written insight for any reader.'

'Shaha’s rational exploration of the corrosive power of religious indoctrination is refreshingly down to earth, heartfelt, and deeply moving. An inspiring and brave book that speaks for thousands who dare not admit their atheism.'
