Out of Many, No Gods Clive Forrester

The Yardie Skeptics have pulled together a group of Jamaican non-believers in this first of its kind anthology exploring the views and ideas of Jamaicans who simply do not believe in gods. Call them atheist, agnostic, or plain old heathens, but be sure to call them Jamaicans too since each author grapples with the fact of their unbelief and the notion that Jamaican identity and religion go hand in hand. Whether dealing with the big philosophical questions of purpose or lamenting the encroaching influence of Evangelicalism on Jamaican law, each author brings their own style to this work all while being simultaneously reflective and hopeful. With chapters from a Bajan and Dominican atheist, you are bound to find a perspective that resonates with you. Far from being a book to mock and berate religion, "Out of Many, No Gods" is an honest look into the lived realities of Jamaicans who dared to call themselves atheist.
