description: From Orthodox Jewish child in postwar America to mild-mannered mathematician in academia to legendary atheist activist in the heart of todays Republican South Herb Silverman has always been outside the mainstream of American culture politics and religion. From this unique vantage point he writes about the most pressing issues of our day including those related to war peace patriotism race gender and church-state separation. In this entertaining and thought-provoking volume he curates some of his best written work. Silverman may see himself as an atheist stranger in a strange religious land but thanks in part to his work as activist and author atheists as a whole are no longer strangers in this increasingly irreligious land.
