Official synopsis Publisher
There are atheists and then there are atheists. Many individuals become disenchanted with the religion they grow up with and turn to atheism when they become adults. A few are born into a godless household and raised without religion. Jeff Ollman and his siblings are part of the rare breed of atheists that grew up in such a household. His parents were atheists as were his grandparents on his father’s side. Ollman describes what it was like to grow up where there were no believers in a god, and a church was not attended, all in the middle of the upper midwest where there was a church on every street corner. He describes the effect it had on him from grade school, college, and throughout his work life. Jeff tells his story in an easy to read conversational style with touches of humor and grace.
