Unbelievers: An Emotional History of Doubt - Alec Ryrie Audiobook

The award-winning author of Protestants offers a new vision of the birth of the secular age, looking to the feelings of ordinary men and women–so often left out of the history of atheism.
Why have societies that were once overwhelmingly Christian become so secular? We think we know the answer, but in this lively and startlingly original reconsideration, Alec Ryrie argues that people embraced unbelief much as they have always chosen their worldviews: through their hearts more than their minds.
Looking back to the crisis of the Reformation and beyond, Unbelievers shows how, long before philosophers started to make the case for atheism, powerful cultural currents were challenging traditional faith. These tugged in different ways not only on celebrated thinkers such as Machiavelli, Montaigne, Hobbes, and Pascal, but on men and women at every level of society whose voices we hear through their diaries, letters, and court records.
Ryrie traces the roots of atheism born of anger, a sentiment familiar to anyone who has ever cursed a corrupt priest, and of doubt born of anxiety, as Christians discovered their faith was flimsier than they had believed. As the Reformation eroded time-honored certainties, Protestant radicals defended their faith by redefining it in terms of ethics. In the process they set in motion secularizing forces that soon became transformational. Unbelievers tells a powerful emotional history of doubt with potent lessons for our own angry and anxious age.

Since atheism has no defensible scientific or philosophical basis, this makes perfect sense.

I never believed. Growing up no one asked me. Church was wedding & funerals & a few times with our Baba.
I was not aware of atheist groups or outspoken atheists of high status until I went online at 30 & they slowly started popping up. Mostly Brits & Americans. I always though it kind of strange to have a group based on non belief in the supernatural. Atheists are not the only ones. There’s a group based solely on their disbelief in a spherical earth -flat earthers. They are good for a laugh, but these American atheists in Texas have a call-in radio & podcast show that’s very funny when the host & caller duke it out. Give it a go & don’t take it too serious.

“Description
About The Atheist Experience
In each episode, we invite god believers to call in and share their beliefs with us, posing the fundamental question, “What do you believe, and why?” Our knowledgeable hosts engage in respectful and intellectually stimulating conversations, challenging and dissecting the answers provided. Through this process, we aim to foster healthy debates and encourage our audience to think critically about religious and supernatural claims.
Our mission at The Atheist Community of Austin is to promote atheism, critical thinking, secular humanism, and the separation of religion and government.”
