A nice collection of essays from a diverse group of atheist Minnesotans, divided in to four parts: Life as an Atheist, Coming Out, Letting Go of Faith, and Ethics and Action. It was a nice change of pace to read a book from the point of view of everyday people and not celebrities (although there is nothing wrong with the books by well-know nonbelievers). It was interesting to me to read others tell of their trip away from faith and the supernatural after being indoctrinated at birth, and this book was especially interesting and relatable as it was set in Minnesota. I've heard of some of the writers as I already followed some on Twitter and I've heard some on the Minnesota Atheists Radio Show.
Since it is a collection of stories, some are bound to be better than others. Overall I found most to be quite good. It was nice to read on and off again between waiting for other books from the library. It is nice to find some atheist writings that focus on anything other than how bad and wrong religion is. There is more to life without religion than that. Some of these stories did go that way.
