"Penn Jillette is a twenty-first-century Lord of Misrule: big, boisterously anarchic, funny, Rabelaisian, impossible-and unique. There isn't-couldn't be-better not be-anybody like him."-Richard Dawkins
Nobody has more fun than atheists. Don't believe it? Well, consider this: For nonbelievers, every day you're alive is a day to celebrate! And no one celebrates life like Penn Jillette, the larger, louder half of legendary magic duo Penn & Teller. Whether he's contemplating the possibility of life after death, deconstructing Christmas carols, or calling Donald Trump's bullsh*t, Jillette's spectacularly witty and sharply observant essays in Every Day is an Atheist Holiday! will entertain zealots and skeptics alike. And as ever, underneath his rollicking rants lie a deeply personal philosophy and generous spirit which find peace in the simple beauty of the every day. Every Day Is an Atheist Holiday! is a thoughtful-yet hysterical-affirmation of life's magic from one of the most distinctly perceptive and provocative humorists writing today. Like Peter Boghossian's A Manual for Creating Atheists, Jillette's book not only shines with comedic witticism, it intructs and educates.
