The selections in the book appeared in various formats from the late nineteenth century through the early twenty-first, and their authors were often active in the anarchist, Marxist, or radical leftist movements of their day. Derived from printed pamphlets, books by small publishers, and essays that appeared in widely distributed newspapers, these texts serve as freethinking propaganda in a media war against morbid authoritarian doctrines.\n<p>With both a sophisticated analysis of inconsistencies in deistic beliefs and a biting satirical edge, <em>Godless <\/em>gives ammunition to those fighting fundamentalist bigotry\u2014and more than a few reasons to abandon Christianity.<\/p>\n<p>Readers previously familiar with the authors\u2019 political polemics will be rewarded in contemplating another side of their remarkable literary output. Contributors include Emma Goldman, Ambrose Bierce, Chaz Bufe, E. Haldeman-Julius, Earl Lee, Johann Most, Joseph McCabe, Matilda Gage, Pamela Sutter, S.C.
