African Americans, Blacks, have long been associated with religious the dawn of our time in America from 1619 to the present day. Do we see Black Church has long been, and is still, seen as a bastian of hope in the Black for good reason: many of our Civil Rights champions came from the fact, while brilliant and admirable, does not dismiss the evils associated with the of these evils include Jonestown, Waco, and 911. The appalling actions done “in the name of god” are highly capable of ruining lives on an epidemic only can lives be lost but, lifestyles can be ruined as well. Entire fortunes have been squandered as well as childhood innosence all in the name of is being done about this? Much of the ill-begotten deeds of religions squalid past are conveniently swept under the the pope to the small time country preacher, are the dirty deals kept hidden from the are encouraged to “play along” and do everything the spiritual leader tells them to that seek answers are shunned by the spiritual leader and his/her brainwashed flock(maintaining that the will of god demands absolute trust and faith).This naturally sets the stage for confusion and pastor/preist is given a free pass to commit all kinds of bad things while the congregation looks on in this same pastor/preist grants “special favors” to those who played along in a fitting and proper way in his of this is done to achieve salvation and go to heaven when one time for change has come.”The Black Atheist in America” by Jason Winn represents that Winn, a former Christian himself, has seen the limited horizons and dirty deals done inside of the struggled with faith for 34 years until he said,”enough is enough!” The Black Church is seen as a haven of hope to most in the Black Community but, this is only a half other half of truth regarding the Black Church is lack luster at Black Community is still #1 in crime, AIDS, and low education but, the Black Church is still going is due to the Black Church not taking a stand against the negative elements within its time, energy, and money used to build and support the church could be redirected to assist in supporting the the church and community are made up of these people are needed to get things done.”The Black Atheist in America” exposes this very basic truth along with many reader will see the violent history of religion from The Crusades to the present day ethnic cleansings taking place in reader will see the glaring hypocrisy running rampant in the church: faith healers and mega churches. The reader will also see how the church uses children(the most innocent among us)to fuel its turbo charged-high energy message to swell its finally, the reader shall see how a reason filled mind will triumph over a faith filled mind.A reason driven mind will be progressive in its function (forward moving). A religious driven mind will be retrogressive in its function(backwards moving). Jason Winn provides a simple example of this dynamic by explaining the passing of states that, “Time is progessive and moves forward.” He further states that this progression can be seen in technology throughout the ages: Stone to Bronze and Industry to Information.
