The incomparable Greta Christina’s new book, Comforting Thoughts About Death That Have Nothing to Do with God, goes on sale today. In case you’re feeling a sense of deja vu: it’s not a glitch in the Matrix, as I mistakenly plugged it a few days too early due to some publisher miscommunication.
As for me? I promised my Kickstarter backers to turn in my due-two-years-ago manuscript for A Skeptic’s Guide to Islam sooner rather than later, so I’m taking a blogging and social media hiatus to focus on that. Unless something happens that I just have to talk about, I’m going to be off the radar until next week.
Eli Heina Dadabhoy spent their childhood as a practicing Muslim who never in their right mind would have believed that they would grow up to be an atheist feminist secular humanist. Eli has been an active participant in atheist organizations and events in and around Orange County, CA since 2007, and on the national stage since 2011. Eli is a speaker and panelist on a range of diverse topics including feminism, race, LGBT issues, the challenges of deconversion, Islam, non-monogamy, strategies for inclusivity, and the various intersections of the above. You may have heard them at Skepticon, the American Atheists National Convention, the Huffington Post Live, and Have Your Say on the BBC World Service or read about them in the New York Times.
