Editing Atheist Book and the immergence of a new genre

It is not  uncommon to see, either in a  book shop or on Amazon, a  classification called either Christian literature or spirituality,  however you will  virtually never see a  classification for atheist books or  books. The reason for this is that there aren't  numerous books written for that particular group, and  particularly not fiction  books.

Over the last few years, we  have actually seen a  great deal of nonfiction literature such as The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins, but  once again not much in the fiction or  sci-fi  category. One of the first books I  review which could  absolutely  certify as Atheist Science-Fiction would be Destined for Oblivion: As Nature Intended written by an  brand-new emerging author; [http://www.destinedforoblivion.com/about/about-the-author Mario Stinger].

Now, what  need to you expect from atheist literature. Well, I'm not an  specialist in Christian literature as I am an atheist myself, so it is a  little bit  tough for me to compare,  however if I were to venture a guess I would  state that nonbelievers literature are simply  books denuded of all irrational beliefs, people binding in prayers and where the characters are  possibly more based on  truths and science than mythology. If you take a look at the book I  pointed out  for instance, you can  absolutely feel Stinger's sting and dislike for  religious beliefs.  Nevertheless, the novel  should not feel any more offensive to a religious  individual, than a Christian  book would feel to an atheist reading about  individuals kneeling to prayer, people praying  prior to a football  video game or  prior to any  venture there  taking part in.

With the decline of  religious beliefs  worldwide as a whole and the radicalization of  faith in other  nations, I  believe this genre is well  past due. I thing nonbelievers  have actually sat on their complacency for far too long.  In contrast to atheist nonfiction, the atheist fiction and science fiction  books are far less abrasive. I think  due to the fact that the reason for the  book  instead of the non-fiction is  just to tell a story. In these novel, the characters are  normally nonbelievers, which  provide they a  a lot more open  field of vision, then that of Christian books. As an example, I  can cite Fifty Shadows of Grey, in the case of this series, the author to writes explicit sexual act and bondage scenes.  Exactly how  might this be done and still  appreciate the limit imposed by  spiritual dogma and its rather prude readers.

Another  significant advantage for atheist literature is a publicity that these  stories will get. A  well-known businessman in Montréal once  stated;  Speak to me positively or  adversely, but talk about me. We only  need to take the  brand-new  motion picture Noah to see all the  complimentary  promotion it is getting on the sole basis of the  debate that it's  creating.

If you're new to the  category, I  highly  advise Mario Stinger, who  has actually lived as a diplomat both in the Middle East and Asia and is  truly an  comprehensive  understanding and  means of  discussing events and  real  areas which you  have actually  most likely  checked out in the media, twist them and makes you really feel a part of the  story.
