About this listen
Why are atheists angry? Is it because they're selfish, joyless, lacking in meaning, and alienated from God? Or is it because they have legitimate reasons to be angry - and are ready to do something about it? Armed with passionate outrage, absurdist humor, and calm intelligence, popular blogger Greta Christina makes a powerful case for outspoken atheist activism, and explains the empathy and justice that drive it. This accessible, personal, down-to-earth book speaks not only to atheists, but also to believers who want to understand the so-called new atheism.
Why Are You Atheists So Angry? drops a bombshell on the destructive force of religious faith - and gives a voice to millions of angry atheists.

Opened my eyes
As an atheist in the UK, where it's pretty much the norm now, it opened my eyes to how far behind us the US is.
I fear for the future of that great country if they continue to alienate rational thinkers, the scientific community, and so on. We've seen the outcomes for countries who let religion colour their thinking and politics, and it is always disastrous for its citizens.

A Gem
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I've read a lot of books by the famous atheist writers and they all have something to offer but this little book packs a real punch. It describes, with laser like precision, a compassionate and enlightened humanist world view and why the, at best muddle headed and at worst downright sociopathic, influence of religion drives us godless up the wall. It also takes no prisoners when it comes to believers who fancy themselves as "progressive" or "just spiritual". Funny, refreshing and highly recommended.

Thought-provoking
If you could sum up Why Are You Atheists So Angry? in three words, what would they be?
Thought-provoking, compassionate and true.
What did you like best about this story?
Well, considering that this isn't so much a story as it is a book full of reasons to be angry at religion, it's hard to answer that. Atheists, especially the "angry" ones, are often accused of being heartless and mean, but Greta Christinas compassion and love for other humans is so obvious. The anger stems from love, not from hate - and the unwillingness to sit around and watch how religion repeatedly cause harm to people all over the world.
I can completely relate to her feelings, so obviously this book speaks to me.
Have you listened to any of Greta Christina’s other performances? How does this one compare?
No, I don't think there are any others.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Repeatedly made me angry and sad. I was already familiar with a lot of the reasons she lists, but listening to a full list of the negative impact religion has on so many people's lives is heartbreaking.
