provides useful resources including:tips for handling potential conflicts

with believers, the author's answers to some of the most frequently asked

questions on behalf of believers, and numerous references to support

clashes in religious worldviews between significant others, this book offers

multiple perspectives from nonreligious individuals who have

generously shared their experiences to help those atheists who may find

themselves in similar situations.
