I am a fiction writer but the continuing atrocities committed in the name of god have instilled within me a desire to speak out against religion, to vehemently condemn the ludicrousness of its teachings and the inherent evil at its core. I am a life­long atheist, born in England but now living in Japan with my beautiful wife and daughter, a temperamental computer, and a morbid fear of carrots. I once sneezed an M&M through my nose and caused a donkey to faint in Costa Rica. You can also check out my website at NeilBrownWriting.com.
