Anarchy Evolution: Faith, Science, and Bad Religion in a World without God by Greg Graffin and Steve Olson

Been there, read that. Meh.

Graffin wanders back and forth between an autobiography of his punk career and thoughts about religion, evolution, and environmentalism. It doesn’t hold together all that well.

Graffin acknowledges the bias against atheists in society – polls saying they couldn’t be elected, no one wants their child to marry one, etc., but refuses to call himself “atheist” because it puts people off. I.e. he recognizes the problem, but prefers to let someone else address it.

But surely Glen Beck is wealthy enough to seek help?

He can’t – his contract with FoxNews requires him to remain certifiably insane in public at all times. If he ever, even by accident, utters two at least semi-reasonable statements in a row, Fox will kick him out and hire the next best raving loon.
