scienceblogs.com — If you've ever been frustrated in a search for books on nonbelief in your local bookstore or annoyed by their inclusion in the comparative religion section, Borders Books has remedied the situation. "Atheism and Agnosticism" has been added as a new section for the works of Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Christopher Hitchens, and many others.

As a bookseller at an average-sized Borders I have to tell you that we've had the Atheism/Agnosticism section for quite a while now..so old news here. However there was not much in the way of the 'blockbusters' that have popped up in recent past - so that might be why people think this is a new thing & yes people are buying these books like you wouldn't believe.....Thanks, B

I'll help you pack.I'm hardly a stars-and-stripeser, but I'm sick of people "threatening" to emigrate. If you want to go, go. Nobody's stopping you. Except the immigration authority in whatever destination country you have in mind.

I agree that Atheism isn't treated as an equal with the other religions, but it is still a belief system.

bring 'em on....we're used to them.....we usually just let them make fools of themselves - then sic the cops on them once they start sounding like the atypical crazy bum ranting about all things biblical & apocalyptic...........quite entertaining i assure youThanks, B

You are right. The gospels do not agree on many points. Did you know that Jesus greatest miracle the resurrection of Lazarus is only mentioned in one of the gospels. Actually there is a letter in the vatican from the archbishiop of Alexandria stating why he had to take it out from a second gospel,because it said that when Jesus approached the tomb he heard voices coming from inside it. That meant to him that whoever was buried inside was not dead.

Silly it's taken this long really. We've got quite a substantial Atheist section in our shop, about 80 titles.
