About this author

Thomas J. Lawson was born in Long Beach, California, in 1975. He met his Canadian wife while "vacationing" in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and moved to Canada in 1999. Lawson got the writing bug at eight years old and has been writing occasionally for his own entertainment ever since. He's busy as a stay-at-home dad, but managed to complete his first book, Letters from an Atheist Nation. He lives a good life in British Columbia, Canada.


One of the letters from Letters from an Atheist Nation: Godless Voices of America in 1903 was featured on the delightfully diabolical blog Letters of Note last Friday.

Shaun Usher has done fantastic work collecting the most fascinating letters and correspondences over the last few years, and he is publishing his favorites in a bound-book later this month. The letter he chose from Letters fro... Read more of this blog post »

Four stars because I felt it fell just short of Stephen King's book on writing; let's call it four-point-five stars. I have no time to write a proper review because reading this has got me rewriting in my head everything I have ever written.

I found this book fantastic. I cannot fathom the many types of personalities that will pick this book up, but it is really for only certain people: humans. I suppose it might feel like you just asked your dad about sex. Sometimes it gets awkward, som...more

" This was an interesting read especially since I was not an Atheist before I read this book. (I'm also not an Atheist after reading this book either).

I have been curious how Atheists come by their point of view and what they put the their faith in... " Read more of this review »

Mark Twain
“What a wee little part of a person's life are his acts and his words! His real life is led in his head, and is known to none but himself.”
Mark Twain

Frederick Douglass
“I prayed for freedom for twenty years, but received no answer until I prayed with my legs.”
Frederick Douglass

Elizabeth Cady Stanton
“When women understand that governments and religions are human inventions; that Bibles, prayer-books, catechisms, and encyclical letters are all emanations from the brains of man, they will no longer be oppressed by the injunctions that come to them with the divine authority of *Thus sayeth the Lord.*”
Elizabeth Cady Stanton

Winston Churchill
“Everyone is in favor of free speech. Hardly a day passes without its being extolled, but some people's idea of it is that they are free to say what they like, but if anyone else says anything back, that is an outrage.”
Winston Churchill

Mark Twain
“Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”
Mark Twain
