I thought I was retired for good when I heard about the U. S. Supreme Court decision in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby. In that case, the Court decided that because Hobby Lobby had certain religious views, it could opt out of providing certain forms of birth control to its female employees.
I was having lunch with by friend Kate who is an author, and she was encouraging me to write a book. I told her the only thing I could get passionate about was atheism. And thus my new career began. I started a blog at www.faithlessfeminist.com, got a Facebook page and YouTube account.
And then I asked friends, joined atheist groups, recruited on social media and got 22 women to tell their stories about how they left religion. It is the first book of only atheist women and their stories.
But I wasn't done. After attending the Women in Secularism Conference, I decided to write another book, Women v. Religion: The Case Against Faith - and for Freedom. These thirteen essays are written by women atheists, many of whom are already published authors. All three Abrahamic faiths are examined in relation to the role of women. It will be out June 1, 2018 but is already available for pre-order.
I hope you enjoy it.
