Given today's religiously charged political climate-and an increase in secular Americans pushing back against the Religious Right-this book from Humanist Press fits the times by taking a look at some of history's greatest secular heroes. "Damned Good Company" by Luis Granados contains 20 tales of incredible human bravery where claims of divine authority were defiantly challenged. From Socrates to Ayaan Hirsi Ali, these stories will inspire those today who want to stand up to the Christian Right, the Muslim fanatics, the oppressiveness of Catholic and Jewish orthodoxy, the rising Hindu Taliban, and everyone else who claims the God-given right to tell the rest of us what to do. In short, it's a "Profiles in Courage" for humanists.
