Case Against Religion: A Psychotherapists View and the Case Against Religiosity 11 reviews
Albert Ellis
American Atheist Press, 1980
rebuttal
As one that is deeply enmeshed in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, I find many points of agreement,and points of void re conclusions, with Ellis conjecture about'religious beliefs'. I totally agree that it is those things we believe, that can and do effectively create the reality we perceive, and eventually receive, but to preclude that subordination to the concept of a superior, ...

The Myth Of Nazareth: The Invented Town Of Jesus 2 reviews
Rene Salm
American Atheist Press, 2008
Readable, Excellent, Scholarly and Important
I don't care if Jesus came from Nazareth, Bodhgaya or Timbukto, but I do care for good books, and this is an excellent book on a difficult subject. How could archaeology of little oil lamps be interesting? - ask Rene Salm, for has made it so in this highly readable and objective account of the area where Nazareth was meant to exist about Year 0.
Without preciousness, without the emotion of ...

Jesus Is Dead8 reviews
Robert M. Price
American Atheist Press, 2007
Highly recommended
Jesus Is Dead is the first book I've read by Dr. Price and what a joy it was. The first third of the book is my favorite in which Dr. Price states his case of the historical Jesus. The last two-thirds of the book concerns him responding to other books. I began by not being too thrilled with the subject matter pertaining to the Templars and the Talmud of Jmmanuel, but soon I was wanting more. Next ...

Illustrated Stories From The Bible 8 reviews
Paul Farrell
American Atheist Press, 2005
Required Reading
This book should be required reading at every Sunday School class. I know that when I was a kid and forced to attend these boring and unbelievable classes that none of these stories were ever mentioned. If they had been, it would have been a much more interesting way to spend a Sunday morning.
If I could afford it, I would buy this book in bulk and put one in every doctor's office, ...

Atheism Advanced: Further Thoughts of a Freethinker 12 reviews
David Eller
American Atheist Press, 2008
Sure to be a Classic!
Eller's book "Atheism Advanced" should be in every atheist library. I thought I had read up on most every issue concerning the philosophy of religion before reading his book, but I was wrong, dead wrong. His passionate analysis is significant and thought provoking in every single chapter I've read so far (thru chapter six). I think Eller should be the new spokesman for atheism and invited to ...

The Bible Handbook6 reviews
G. W. Foote, W. P. Ball
American Atheist Press, 1986
The Bible Refutes Itself
This book contains all the contradictions, absurdities and atrocities in the Christian Bible. The introduction is a lame piece of writing, and the book contains a lot of repetition, but there's no better way to prepare for a debate with a Christian. This book is a one-stop Bible buster.

Natural Atheism42 reviews
David Eller
American Atheist Press, 2004
WOW!!! You MUST read this book!
This book is absolutely beautiful in its reason and argumentation. I liked the fact that arguments from Biblical authority are dismissed in just about one sentence by recognizing that they are just arguments from authority (a fallacy).
My only complaint is that the book was a bit wordy at times. I think that the points could have been made with 1/2 the text. But that is a minor compliant from ...

Christianty Before Christ
This book answers one of the most important theological manipulation ever invented by western culture. This book tells the truth that most so called christians can't dismiss nor understand. The TRUTH!

Pagan Origins of the Christ Myth3 reviews
John G. Jackson
American Atheist Press, 1989
A Great Introductory Book
Concise and easy-to-read. Christian doctrines are traced to their origins in older religions, and Jesus' similarities to other savior-gods are delineated. ** Excellent **

Martin Luther: Hitler's Spiritual Ancestor5 reviews
Peter F. Wiener
American Atheist Press, 1999
Controversy comes in small packages
"Hitler's spiritual ancestor" is a short book that tackles some very large questions. The author Peter Wiener wrote the book towards the end of World War II and was a Christian of German origin. The huge questions that he tackles include: "How could the German people allow Hitler to lead them into a war that was so brutal, destructive and remorseless?", "Who was Martin Luther...really?" and ...

The Age of Reason: Examination of the Prophecies3 reviews
Thomas Paine
American Atheist Press, 1993
Prophecies
This book is a excellent antidote to books like "Evidence that Demands a Verdict" that fool unsuspecting readers into the validity of the Bible. Paine's work "Examination of Prophecies Age of Reason" examines one by one, each alledged prophecy and compares them to the Old Testament to determine if the texts where prophecies or not. It's a superb work on the NT but really belongs with a ...

The Great Infidels2 reviews
Robert G. Ingersoll
American Atheist Press, 1990
Eloquent Eulogies for Some of the Greatest Freethinkers
The master orator eloquently eulogizes a few of the world's greatest freethinkers (Bruno, Voltaire, Paine, etc.). He boldly states what their honest and courageous minds endowed to humanity. He also dispenses with the clergy who so ravenously attack the character of these brilliant lovers of Liberty and Reason.

Ages of Gold and Silver and Other Short Sketches of Human History1 review
John G. Jackson
American Atheist Press, 1990
Informative, but re-cycled
Almost every chapter in AGES is duplicated in Jackson's more voluminous "Man God and Civilization", but AGES is still an excellent dissertation on ancient civilizations, especially for those who may not have time to read MG&C. Starting with the "Early Stages of the World," Jackson visits Egyptian, Chinese, Greek and Roman societies, among others, to dissect events that contributed to their ...

X-Rated Bible: An Irreverant Survey of Sex in the Scriptures3 reviews
Ben Edward Akerley
American Atheist Press, 1985
Great Reading for Believers and Nonbelievers
This book explores all the dirty parts of the Bible and shows that the Bible, far from being the prudish book that the Moral Majority would like to think it is, is full of the stuff. Highly recommended. The author does have an obvious anti-religious bias, and the book is published by the American Athiest Association, but that doesn't distract from the central point of the book which is that the ...

Atheist Primer: Did You Know All the Gods Came from the Same Place?4 reviews
Madalyn Murray O'Hair
American Atheist Press, 1978
To balance the uneducated reader
Now that the trial of the murderers of Madalyn are in the news, I am becoming more aware and trying to research this controversial lady. The title couldn't be more accurate. All gods are ideas conjured up in the mind of man. That instinctive insecurity feeling of the unknown has perpetuated myths from the Mayans with the natural gods to modern day where Falun Dafa has become the fastest ...

Why I Am an Atheist: Including a History of Materialism1 review
Madalyn O'Hair
American Atheist Press, 1991
Why I am an atheist by Madayn O'Hair
I liked the book it is a small book with ancient history of atheism and it has an explanation of materialism that is important for people to understand. Madalyn writes well and this small book is a nice addition to your atheist library.

The Jesus the Jews Never Knew: Sepher Toldoth Yeshu and the Quest of the Historical Jesus in Jewish Sources4 reviews
Frank R. Zindler
American Atheist Press, 2003
Zindler has done excellent work in TJTJNK
I found Zindler's comprehensive survey of the Jewish record of alleged references to Jesus to be compelling and enjoyable reading. The interesting style and well-documented text made TJTJNK a fine addition to my library. I give it four stars and a definite thumb up. Some reviewers reveal they did not actually read Zindler's book by mischaracterizing its contents. I do not recall detecting a ...
