The president of American Atheists, branded "Mr. Atheist Pants" by Stephen Colbert, presents an unflinching manifesto for the nonbeliever. One of the most recognizable faces of atheism, David Silverman - a walking, talking atheist billboard known for his fiery debates on Fox News - presents a manifesto for the nonbeliever in a world dominated by faith. Silverman holds nothing back, arguing that religion is more than just wrong: it is malevolent and does not deserve our respect. We are fighting a war of ideas and it is the nonbeliever's duty to challenge the dominant narrative of religion. Fighting God is a provocative, unapologetic book that takes religion to task and will give inspiration to non-believers and serve as the ultimate answer to apologists.
