thanks for the link. I just got in the mail my fall reading:
Christopher Hitchens: God is not great
&Michael Onfray's Atheist Manifesto
have you read either?
We're as a family (on Mrs. Mamluke's side & us) UU and Southern Baptist on mine
I haven't read either of those, but the Hitchens' book, along with Sam Harris's The End of Faith and Richard Dawkins' The God Delusion, are on my Amazon wishlist, so I'm planning to pick them up sometime this year. I hadn't heard of the Onfray book, though, so I'll have to look into it, too.
I think my own religious history deserves a post of its own; I'll add that to the queue.
