Self-help for cheerful atheists

This book is intended for anyone who can't get to grips with an imaginary God. For those of us who nevertheless strive to endow our lives with peace and harmony, both with ourselves and our neighbours.
Amen.

Although I have had Lebenshilfe für Fröhliche Atheisten translated into English, I have yet to find a publisher for it. Meanwhile, if you visit this site every month you can read the whole book in just 47 months! Try it!
