What to expect
Read by Simon Le Bon, Derren Brown, Charlie Brooker, Richard Dawkins, Ben Goldacre, Mitch Benn and more!
In this download there are 38 atheist celebrities, comedians, scientists and writers give their funny and serious tips for enjoying the Christmas season.
When the Atheist Bus Campaign was first launched, over £150,000, was raised in four days – enough to place the advert 'There's probably no God.

The Atheist's Guide to Christmas is a funny, thoughtful handbook all about enjoying Christmas, from 42 of the world's most entertaining atheists. It features everything from an atheist Christmas miracle to a guide to the best Christmas pop hits, and contributors include Richard Dawkins, Charlie Brooker, Derren Brown, Ben Goldacre, Jenny Colgan, David Baddiel, Simon Singh, AC Grayling, Brian Cox and Richard Herring.

Let me start by saying I’m a fully paid up, card carrying atheist, and yes I celebrate Christmas, so this book was extremely intriguing. I have a hard copy which I’ve read, but wanted to listen to it being read by the individual authors. It sounds like some are recorded on pro kit, and some recorded on an old school take player via a conversation on a Nokia 2210 with zero signal. Some chapters and takes are considerably more interesting than others, so if you get bored of some chapters, skip them and something more better will come along!
