We’re celebrating the 13 days of Solstice rather than the 12 days of Christmas. I’m done writing and editing books, so I’m highlighting each one of them in reverse chronological order, leading up to the 25th of the month.

I envisioned my first anthology The Christian Delusion to be an extension of my first book, Why I Became an Atheist.
