Hitchcock; Chapter XI: Dogspell-Earl Lee; Afterword-Chaz Bufe; About the Authors 520 Godless is a compilation of wide-ranging texts, both hilarious and horrifying, on atheism, belief, and religion. The selections in the book appeared in various formats from the late 19th century through the early 21st, and their authors were often active in the anarchist, Marxist, or radical leftist movements of their day. Derived from printed pamphlets, periodicals, and newspaper pieces that were mass-produced and widely distributed, these texts serve as freethinking propaganda in a media war against morbid authoritarian doctrines. With both a sophisticated analysis of inconsistencies in deistic beliefs and a biting satirical edge, Godless gives ammunition to those fighting fundamentalist bigotry--and more than a few reasons to abandon Christianity. Readers previously familiar with the authors' political polemics will be rewarded in contemplating another side of their remarkable literary output. Contributors include Emma Goldman, Ambrose Bierce, Chaz Bufe, E. Haldeman-Julius, Earl Lee, G. Richard Bozarth, Johann Most, Joseph McCabe, Matilda Gage, Pamela Sutter, S.C. Hitchcock, and Sebastien Faure. 588 0 Vendor-supplied metadata. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Atheism|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85009109|vMiscellanea.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99001794 650 0 Rationalism|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85111520|vMiscellanea.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99001794 650 0 Religion|vMiscellanea.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2010110685 650 7 Atheism.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/819974 650 7 Rationalism.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1090275 650 7 Religion.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1093763 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Trivia and miscellanea.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1921748 655 7 Trivia and miscellanea.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/genreForms/gf2014026201 700 1 Bufe, Charles,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n88259222|eeditor. 700 1 Arel, Dan,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n2015023908|ewriter of introduction. 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=2168224|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
