description: There have been many attempts over the past decade to show how the atheism movement parallels the LGBTQ movement. While there are similarities, the differences cannot be ignored. This book is about how those two worlds overlap more than you might think, how religious believers can be both an obstacle and a path forward for true equality, and why atheists specifically should care about these issues. It examines all of these issues in extraordinary depth. More importantly, there are non-believers who believe their support for LGBTQ rights shouldn't be assumed because the definition of atheism begins and ends with a disbelief in God's existence. That's too simplistic. This book makes the case for why atheists should be among the most vocal supporters of LGBTQ rights.It's not enough just to agree that LGBTQ people should have equal rights; atheists must advocate for them. This should not be an extension of atheists' beliefs; their cause must be atheists' cause, too.
