The Atheist’s Guide to Christmas: We do books too!

Saturday, November 14th, 2009

Unusually, I’m plugging a book rather than a move, The Atheists Guide to Christmas, an excellent and borderline bestselling volume penned by 42 Atheists and edited by the new poster girl of Atheism, Arianne Sherine is out in all good book shops now.

David Baddiel and I wrote an essay together for the book, on the question of why they aren’t any Atheist Movies. And then as soon as we had written it, bloody Ricky Gervais went and made one in THE INVENTION OF LYING.

But in any case, the essay, and the book (and the cause behind the book, 50% of all royalties go to the Terrence Higgins Trust) are all excellent. You can hear David and I talking about our piece here and buy the book from Amazon and anywhere else. Click on the jacket to be taken there….
