On Atheists Who Want Atheism to be True

May 17, 2018 by Randal

The following article is adapted from a section of my book Is the Atheist My Neighbor? If you appreciate this article, please spread the word! The existence of God is a topic that tends to elicit strong passions. People have their beliefs about whether God exists or not, but they also have their hopes. Many people […]

Who is the Fool? How Christians misread the Bible to attack atheists

February 14, 2018 by Randal

This article is an excerpt from my 2015 book Is the Atheist My Neighbor? Rethinking Christian Attitudes Toward Atheism. It’s a book that J.L. Schellenberg, one of the leading atheist philosophers of religion, recommended as “brief and lively but remarkably full and acute” and “impressively fair”. You can decide whether this brief excerpt lives up to […]

Edward Babinski reviews Is the Atheist My Neighbor?

August 10, 2017 by Randal

Edward Babinski, editor of the collection Leaving the Fold: Testimonies of Former Fundamentalists, reviewed my 2015 book Is the Atheist My Neighbor? at his blog. He writes: “I applaud Randal’s attempt to spare atheists from being negatively stereo-typed by conservative Christians as the most blind, stupid, and vile lot of humanity. (Randal also would like to see Christians […]

Is the Atheist My Neighbor? reviewed in “The Humanist”

November 22, 2016 by Randal

Humanist writer and activist Sincere Kirabo has reviewed my book Is the Atheist My Neighbor? at The Humanist. It’s a very fine and positive review. Here’s the final paragraph: “This brief (only 97 pages) but thorough book is worth reading, dissecting, and recommending to others. I think it does a great job of presenting atheists as complex beings […]

The Irony of the Critique: A Response to Richard Carrier

September 3, 2016 by Randal

Recently Richard Carrier reviewed my book Is the Atheist My Neighbor? Let’s start with the good news: Carrier liked the book which he described as “packed full of facts and arguments” and a “brief but thorough and well-studied book”. (That’s two fine endorsements for the back cover of the second edition which will never be printed due to […]

Richard Carrier reviews Is the Atheist My Neighbor?

August 20, 2016 by Randal

Richard Carrier just posted a review of my 2015 book Is the Atheist My Neighbor? Rethinking Christian Attitudes Toward Atheism. Titled “Randal Rauser on Treating Atheists Like People,” Carrier’s review has lots of nice things to say: he calls the book “brief but thorough and well-studied” and he observes, “it makes a better argument in defense […]

Fundamentalism sells … and moderation is a voice crying in the wilderness

August 9, 2016 by Randal

Last year I was interviewed on the nationally syndicated radio show The Firing Line with Michael Brown to talk  about my then new book Is the Atheist My Neighbor? It was a very enjoyable interview and surprisingly Brown didn’t really push back on my thesis despite the fact that he is a Christian conservative. Nor was Brown the only […]

The Silver Lining on Is the Atheist My Neighbor?

February 27, 2016 by Randal

It’s been almost nine months since Is the Atheist My Neighbor? was published. As many of you know, the dark cloud since then is that despite sending out multiple review copies to atheist bloggers and podcasters who either requested the book or agreed to review it, not a single review has appeared. (I already blogged about […]

Christianity and Atheism in Dialogue … and Debate

January 27, 2016 by Randal

Last night I delivered the FaithLife lecture at Concordia University consisting of a paper in which I summarized the core arguments of Is the Atheist My Neighbor? A reception followed afterwards and I had a great conversation with several people including a very thoughtful atheist gentleman from the Society of Edmonton Atheists. The additional good news […]
