The Portable Atheist
The Portable Atheist: Essential Readings for the Nonbeliever | Christopher Hitchens
8 posts | 13 read | 3 reading | 25 to read
From the #1 New York Times best-selling author of God Is Not Great, a provocative and entertaining guided tour of atheist and agnostic thought through the ages--with never-before-published pieces by Salman Rushdie, Ian McEwan, and Ayaan Hirsi Ali.Christopher Hitchens continues to make the case for a splendidly godless universe in this first-ever gathering of the influential voices--past and present--that have shaped his side of the current (and raging) God/no-god debate. With Hitchens as your erudite and witty guide, you’ll be led through a wealth of philosophy, literature, and scientific inquiry, including generous portions of the words of Lucretius, Benedict de Spinoza, Charles Darwin, Karl Marx, Mark Twain, George Eliot, Bertrand Russell, Emma Goldman, H. L. Mencken, Albert Einstein, Daniel Dennett, Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins, and many others well-known and lesser known. And they’re all set in context and commented upon as only Christopher Hitchens--“political and literary journalist extraordinaire” (Los Angeles Times)--can. Atheist? Believer? Uncertain? No matter: The Portable Atheist will speak to you and engage you every step of the way.

The history of skepticism is one that has, as Hitch put, been burned out and stamped out. It‘s comforting to have this collection of writing from the past that can give me the feeling of an intellectual interconnectedness to a historical tradition of unbelief. Especially when that history is a poetic literary tradition. #skeptic #atheist #unbelief #agnostic #Hitchens

This is an audiobook compilation and commentary on atheists throughout time. From the thoughts of our founding fathers to today's modern thinkers and beyond.

I consider it a must-read for any atheist or agnostic.

This book has been a good friend of mine during the current election. A little healthier than alcohol. I read an essay whenever I just need a reminder that there are rational people out there, and have always been.
