Professor Peter Boghossian has written a book entitled "A Manual for Creating Atheists." In this talk, he'll give an abstract of his book and answer questions/comments from the audience. People of all faiths, or none at all, are invited to attend.
Prof. Boghossian teaches various philosophy courses at PSU. One of his latest course creations is a class on "Atheism." In this class, he has had a few famous atheists give special presentations, including Michael Shermer and Massimo Pigliucci.
