"A Manual for Creating Atheists"

http://www.amazon.com/Manual-Creating-Atheists-Peter-Boghossian/dp/1939578094/ref=pd_sim_b_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=0WDP31MP1FWHP2NHVB32

Getting more brilliant rave reviews on AMZN, oh my, you're right, there is a large movement out there to combat magical thinking, quick start a prayer thread!

"Up to now, most atheists have simply criticized religion in various ways, but the point is to dispel it. In A Manual For Creating Atheists, "Peter Boghossian fills that gap, telling the reader how to become a 'street epistemologist' with the skills to attack religion at its weakest point: its reliance on faith rather than evidence. This book is essential for nonbelievers who want to do more than just carp about religion, but want to weaken its odious grasp on the world." --Jerry Coyne, Ph.D., author of Why Evolution is True

"Dr. Peter Boghossian's 'A Manual for Creating Atheists' is a precise, passionate, compassionate and brilliantly reasoned work that will illuminate any and all minds capable of openness and curiosity. This is not a bedtime story to help you fall asleep, but a wakeup call that has the best chance of bringing your rational mind back to
life."--Stefan Molyneux, host of Freedomain Radio, the largest and most popular philosophy show on the web

"A book so great you can skip it and just read the footnotes. Pure genius." --Christopher Johnson, co-founder, The Onion

"I wouldn't be surprised if ten years from now we realized that this book's publication was a turning point in the decline of Christianity in the West..." Tom Gilson, Christian apologist and author, Thinking Christian

"A 'how to' book for the ages. Boghossian manages to take a library's worth of information and mold it into a concise and practical tome to guide through the murky waters of magical thinking, docking the reader safely on the shores of reason, logic and understanding. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this, and highly recommend it."--Al Stefanelli, author of A Voice of Reason In An Unreasonable Word-The Rise of Atheism On Planet Earth and Free Thoughts-A Collection Of Essays By An American Atheist
