Book Synopsis An Atheist Manifesto by : Joseph Lewis
Book excerpt: 'An Atheist Manifesto' is a book about atheism, and what constitutes as such, written by Joseph Lewis. He was an American freethinker and atheist activist, publisher, and litigator. During the mid-twentieth century, he was one of America's most conspicuous public atheists. Lewis developed his ideas from reading, among others, Robert G. Ingersoll, whose published works made him aware of Thomas Paine. He was first impressed by atheism after having read a large volume of lectures of Ingersoll devoted to his idol Paine, which was brought to their house by his older brother. He later credited Paine's The Age of Reason with helping him abandon theism.
