“This book is for any and all newly-realized heretics, including those still in the closet: it's not a rule book or a Decalogue, but necessary compass bearings, sound advice, and a handy, hefty guide to atheist resources and support systems—all the tools you need to help in the search to find your joy in a big, scary, wonderful, godless universe like ours.” —David Fitzgerald, author of Nailed and The Complete Heretic’s Guide to Western Religion series

“As a nonreligious parenting author and speaker, I hear countless stories from people who have left religious belief. The actual loss of faith is rarely described as the greatest problem. It’s what comes next, the reactions of those around us, that can be most challenging. David McAfee tackles the issue of coming out atheist with clarity and insight, helping new atheists better understand their own transitions out of religion while bringing those around them to a better understanding of what has changed and—just as important—what has not.” —Dale McGowan, author and editor of Parenting Beyond Belief and Raising Freethinkers

"Hi, I'm an Atheist! is so profoundly personal and considers the spectrum of emotion one grows through that it perfectly captures the universal experience of re-becoming an atheist. It will gently but concisely lead you through self-discovery, reconstructing your closest relationships, and building a new community around yourself. It is a perfect guide for closeted atheists, budding atheists, and atheists confronting situations in which religious people find comfort in their beliefs."– Claire Klingenberg, President of the European Council of Skeptical Organizations

"David McAfee’s Hi, I’m an Atheist! is an important contribution . . . and his courage in coming out as a nonbeliever will further bend the arc of the moral universe toward justice for all, including and especially atheists." —Michael Shermer, publisher of Skeptic magazine and author of Why People Believe Weird Things, The Believing Brain, and The Moral Arc

"Whether you have been freshly disabused of supernatural beliefs and find yourself struggling to contextualize faithless values, or you're a long-time non-believer mystified by suspicions that you're a moral monster, David McAfee provides thoughtful, engaging approaches to constructively discussing non-belief." —Lucien Greaves, cofounder, spokesperson, The Satanic Temple

"David G. McAfee has written the definitive handbook on a very tricky subject: coming out as a non-believer. We at Recovering from Religion recommend it frequently, and our clients report that it is a very helpful resource." —Dr. Darrel Ray, founder of Recoveringfromreligion.org, author of The God Virus
