Chris Johnson - A Better Life

Author and filmmaker Chris Johnson is telling the story of a better life without any belief in gods, and he's doing it in a compelling way.

I am interested in finding a documentary about Christians who faced a crisis of faith but continued to believe :)

I've had a chance to meet Chris Johnson and see his documentary, thanks to the Northern Ohio Freethought Society. _A Better Life_ is a beautiful and enjoyable piece of work and absolutely worth your time.

Love this! Chris came to Humanist Society of Greater Phoenix to screen the movie and stayed for a Q&A. Such a great event and a great film!

Well done, looks very interesting. A gentle approach is the right one, since so many of us are painted as angry and amoral.

This is the book that everyone should read and believe in.

the point of life for an atheist :have fun, experience great things, help people, to give others the opportunity to experience the joy of life you have, and the ultimate point to any life is to die with a smile on your face from a life well lived.

I'm between being atheist and agnostic

Thanks much for sharing - I hadn't heard of this before.

Is the book available outside the us too?

Being an Atheist is living with the complete realization that this life is one and loving, sharing, caring and learning to live productively and happy with your love ones is the prime directive of our lives. With out fantasy, religious lies and rituals of an era of GOD, Spells and War for religious beliefs.  I love being an Atheist period.

Holy crap! You guys need to look up Alex Honnold's rock climbing videos. That dude is fearless!

[quen_anito]

Alex Honnold?! WTF? I didn't know...

[ionewingedangel]

Wish I could've been a part of it.

Great video and good information. Living with out delusion, what a terrific idea.

Is it 'true' that Chris Johnson likes his 'boyfriends' to call him "CHRISSIE"?

I am a die hard Atheist and was raised in a christian home 18 years until I left for college. I recently got into a debate with some bible bashing door knockers. I explained that I knew about Christianity and all the lies that it promise me and never game me. I told them Jesus hates, LGBT and I do not associate with people who hate period. They asked me why did I think Jesus hate LGBT people and if I have read the entire bible. That caught me off guard. They stated it is foolish to speak about a couple of sentences in a book that has over 900 words. That hit me to heart. I went to school for journalism and currently finishing up my masters. I condemn the bible for its four or five sentences about bashing gays and never read over 25 pages at least on my own. Journalism 101 is to know the whole story before you formulate thoughts into writing. I realize I have to read the whole bible, so I can dispute the bible.... I guess atheist do have integrity and dignity Jesus freaks. As An atheist and journalist, I encourage atheist to read the entire bible so we can accurately dispute.
