Lifetree Cafe: "Giving Up on God"

The impact of atheism in America will be discussed at Lifetree Café on 611 Clark Ave, Thursday @ 7-8 PM.

This Lifetree program, “Giving Up on God,” features a filmed interview with a former Christian who has embraced atheism. It also includes the story of a former atheist professor, Holly Ordway, who became a Christian. She’s the author of “Not God’s Type.”

“National surveys indicate a rise in atheism,” said Lifetree representative Craig Cable. “Many attribute this to the popularity of the so-called new atheists. We’ll look at the trends and invite the public’s input on what’s happening.”

Cable said everyone, regardless of faith affiliation or non-affiliation, is welcome to participate in this public forum.
