He says the house plans to publish up to four atheism titles a year, the next being Deliverance at Hand! by James Zimmerman (2013), a memoir by the former Jehovah\u2019s Witness. Da Capo Press has another out-of-religion memoir with Hope After Faith: An Ex-Pastor\u2019s Journey from Belief to Atheism by Jerry DeWitt with Ethan Brown (June). Lehto says among the reasons he founded Freethought Press was to promote more moderate voices. \u201cI think there is this view of atheists that they are all militants who want to destroy religion, and I wanted there to be a book out there that isn\u2019t a diatribe against religion, but just personal stories.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The book Atheist Voices of Minnesota: an Anthology of Personal Stories has a mention in Publisher&#8217;s Weekly: While Prometheus Books is the grandfather of publishing atheism books, there are two upstarts, another indication of the category\u2019s strength.
