Rise of atheism explored at Lifetree Café

The impact of atheism in America will be discussed at Lifetree Café at noon Monday, Nov. 28.

This Lifetree program, “Giving Up on God,” features a filmed interview with a former Christian who has embraced atheism. It also includes the story of a former atheist professor, Holly Ordway, who became a Christian. She’s the author of “Not God’s Type.”

“National surveys indicate a rise in atheism,” said Lifetree representative Craig Cable. “Many attribute this to the popularity of the so-called new atheists. We’ll look at the trends and invite the public’s input on what’s happening.”

Cable said everyone, regardless of faith affiliation or non-affiliation, is welcome to participate in this public forum.

Admission to the 60-minute event is free. Snacks and beverages are available. Lifetree Café is located at Kokanee Coffee, 509 N. Fifth Ave., Sandpoint.

Lifetree Café is a place where people gather for conversations about life and faith in a casual coffeehouse-type setting. Questions about Lifetree may be directed to Angela Reese at 208-597-7831.
