Black atheist books are somewhat of a new query for African Americans. Historically, African Americans have been considered one of the most religious and superstitious demographics in the world. This is changing rapidly as more and more Black Atheists speak out and more Black Christians wake up to the realization that religion is harmful and simply not true.
Thanks to some brave Black authors and activists, there have been several books written by African American atheists during the last century. Despite the increasing amount of Black atheists, and clear openness to “diversity” within the secular movement, books by black authors and scholars have received much support from the secular/atheist/humanist community.

I’ll recommend anything by Neil DeGrasse Tyson and his podcast is fantastic. One of only three I have subscribed to. Star Talk.
There is a black science podcasts by an atheist called “Shot Out Electron” too
I can’t view the books. Can someone send me a list?
I second that, Neil Degresse Tyson is very cool, especially on the remake of COSMOS.
Anything Brian Cox does is outstanding. I have not been bored yet.
Lawrence Krauss seems to be an acquired taste. I happen to like him but not everyone does.
I took physics at university, where one of my professors had done some work with Krauss (who, if anyone doesn’t know, is a physicist). I asked him what Krauss was like. My professor said, “He is crazy.” I gathered that Krauss was nice enough, but just… off somehow. It struck me as humorous.
Unfortunately the kwelikush link doesn’t work for me. It acts like the site doesn’t exist.
