by Betty Brogaard (Author)
Why is homemade pie better than store-bought? Because it is made with love, special care and personal attention. Betty Brogaard's atheism is just like that. She knows that life without faith is not only intellectually justified, it is emotionally fulfilling. Betty's story is proof that atheism leads not just to truth, but to happiness.
--Dan Barker, author of Godless This outstanding volume progresses magnificently along two beautifully interwoven lines--a personal story and the scientific method.
--David Mills, author of Atheist Universe
