Atheist Voices Of Minnesota An Anthology Of Personal Stories [Paperback]

Atheists have turned a corner in public visibility in recent years, but they nevertheless remain one of America's most misunderstood and mistrusted groups of people. Atheist Voices of Minnesota attempts to correct these misconceptions by letting thirty-six atheists openly share their personal, unique stories. With a Foreword by Greta Christina. All net proceeds go to Minnesota Atheists (a 501c3 nonprofit organization) with authors, editors, designers, and other volunteers receiving no financial benefit.
