Love over Religion is a brave and heartfelt reply to the question, "Why did you leave Christianity?" After years as an active churchgoer, Danica Allen made the difficult choice to leave the faith. No single moment led to her decision. Instead, she found herself gradually realizing that her personal beliefs and morality were at odds with Christianity's foundation. Beginning with her discomfort with a God who actively encourages acts of abuse, slavery, and discrimination, Allen tackles Christianity's most significant sociopolitical issues and negative attitudes toward other faiths and the marginalized. She does so not with anger or intellectual pontification, but with gentleness, humor, and compassion. A must-read for all those struggling to explain why they cannot accept Christianity, Love over Religion also invites Christians to examine the often-contradictory teachings of the church. Allen does not condemn the followers of any faith. Instead, she offers a chance to bridge the divide between atheists and Christians. Love over Religion provides food for a civil conversation on the relative merits of faith and nonbelief. Are you ready for that discussion?

These days most Americans still identify as Christians. It is the majority here in the United States of America where our coins still say, "In God We Trust." But there is a trend going on where more and more people are not attending church or identifying as religious anymore. More and more people are deconstructing their faith. And many are realizing that they were in a cult, the cult of Christianity! I grew up as a Christian and in my early 20s had a born-again experience and dived headfirst into Evangelical Christianity. Not just a normal dive but I was going for the gold and dived off the high dive into the deep end. I later got a degree in Biblical studies and became a minister. I would like to tell you it was everything I thought it would be but that would be a lie. It was nothing it was supposed to be. Christianity is one big delusion, and nothing is what they say it is. I went into it looking for love, acceptance, and a family and found only disappointment. The one good thing that came out of it was an awakened spirituality and a relationship with God, but it will take many years to purge myself from all the negative things that accompanied that. What I have come to realize now is that I was in a cult, Christianity is one big cult and it often does more harm than good. And no I am not saying just the church I was in was a cult because I was in many. The whole religion with all its churches and branches is actually one big massive cult.

Are "true Christians" saved? Let me ask; is a "true Christian" one that complies with all Christian Church Doctrine, or is a true Christian one that adheres to all of the teachings of Jesus Christ? What's the difference you ask? The Church doctrines are not rooted and grounded in Jesus' teachings, but rather Paul's teachings. I know a lot of Christians who comply with Church doctrine, but I know none who adhere to all of Jesus' teachings, or even try. And, yes, there are some major differences between Jesus' teachings and Christian Church doctrines and the differences are not trivial, they are affecting salvation issues. How has this happened? In the same manner that Adam and Eve were deceived by the serpent beast in the Garden of Eden, as we read in the Book of the Revelation, the serpent beast had deceived the whole world, and all the world follows after the serpent beast. The deception going on in today's Christian Church has tremendous parallels to what happened in the Garden of Eden, with an amazingly similar deceptive message with amazingly similar results. I will share all the details of that deception in this book, and the truth that will set us free from that deception

Uncover the truth about atheism in the book Oliver Sacks calls, "a revelation. . . I don’t think anyone can match the (devastating!) clarity, intensity, and honesty which Dan Barker brings to the journey—faith to reason, childhood to growing up, fantasy to reality, intoxication to sobriety." ADVANCE PRAISE FOR GODLESS “Valuable in the human story are the reflections of intelligent and ethical people who listen to the voice of reason and who allow it to vanquish bigotry and superstition. This book is a classic example.” —CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS author of God is Not Great “The most eloquent witness of internal delusion that I know—a triumphantly smiling refugee from the zany, surreal world of American fundamentalist Protestantism—is Dan Barker.” —RICHARD DAWKINS author of The God Delusion “Godless was a revelation to me. I don’t think anyone can match the (devastating!) clarity, intensity, and honesty which Dan Barker brings to the journey—faith to reason, childhood to growing up, fantasy to reality, intoxication to sobriety.” —OLIVER SACKS authors of Musicophilia In Godless, Barker recounts his journey from evangelical preacher to atheist activist, and along the way explains precisely why it is not only okay to be an atheist, it is something in which to be proud.” —MICHAEL SHERMER publisher of Skeptic Magazine “Godless is a fascinating memoir and a handbook for debunking theism. But most of all, it is a moving testimonial to one man’s emotional and intellectual rigor in acclaiming critical thinking.” —ROBERT SAPOLSKY author of Why Zebras Don’t Get Ulcers

Dubbed 'a heroic gate-crasher' by New York Times bestselling author Glennon Doyle, Brian McLaren explores reasons to leave or stay within the church and if so, how ... Do I Stay Christian? addresses in public the powerful question that surprising numbers of people - including pastors, priests and other religious leaders - are asking in private. Picking up where Brian's warmly received Faith After Doubt (2021) leaves off, Do I Stay Christian? is not McLaren's attempt to persuade Christians to dig in their heels or run for the exit. Instead, he combines his own experience with that of thousands of people who have confided in him over the years to help readers make a responsible, honest, ethical decision about their religious identity. There is a way to say both yes and no to the question of staying Christian, McLaren says, by shifting the focus from whether we stay Christian to how we stay human. If Do I Stay Christian? is the question you're asking - or if it's a question that someone you love is asking - this is the book you've been waiting for. 'Brian's new book on remaining Christian knocks it out of the ballpark in terms of framing and naming the questions. I cannot stop reading it. Thank you, Brian!'
