Atheism Poems
Nonbeliever
by Michael R. Burch
These are poems about atheism, agnosticism and the loss of faith. I grew up in an evangelical Christian family with missionaries, pastors, a deacon, and Sunday school teachers including my mother. But I read the Bible from cover to cover at age 11 and I couldn't understand how anyone could call the biblical god "good." I read the Bible from cover to cover again as an adult and came to the same conclusion.

Final Thoughts
by Alana Alpres
As I stand before the gates of death,
And take my final, trembling breath
I'm filled with fear and deep regret
For all the things I left unsaid
I try to find my way to faith,
But no matter how I pray,
I remain an atheist at heart
A heathen creature with no god,
And now, as death draws near,
I am afraid.
