Description

The Materialist Manifesto is a collection of 13 short essays pushing back against spiritual ways of looking at reality. The ebook, available in EPUB and PDF formats, seeks to reassert materialism as an unapologetic answer to all manner of unverified and unverifiable claims about the human condition. It is meant for atheists who find themselves on the receiving end of such claims at home, at work, and increasingly, in the public policy sphere as well.

    As someone who gets more than his share of Hindutva trolls, I learned some time ago the problem with calling Right Wing trolls names like monsters and maniacs.

    What young people don't understand about qualifications

    Sometimes, young people write to me asking about my qualifications. This confuses me because I haven't had to worry about that in more than two decades. I realised a long time ago that our education system is designed to create the appearance of education and that true education happens in the field through work and experience. However, young people not understanding this is understandable since their world views are limited by where they stand in life. In the long run, what decides your fate is not your certificates, it's actual work you have done in the field and the appreciation that gets you from people.

    How can an atheist write stories about gods?

    I sometimes get asked how I reconcile my atheism with my creative work. More specifically, I get asked why I write stories featuring gods when I don't believe that gods exist.

    I can press my finger against a certain interface element on my phone screen and move it to another place on the screen. I do this to make my digital space more comfortable and usable for myself. This customisation or personalisation is something I do to my digital devices for my convenience.

  • The Fault in Our AtheismsThe Fault in Our Atheisms

    The Fault in Our Atheisms

    I do not believe in the religious claim that a god or gods exist. That makes me an atheist. I am however, not unique in having this position. Plenty of people lack belief in the claim that god or gods exist. Many even make the positive claim that gods do not exist.
