Faith No More by Phil Zuckerman

From Publishers Weekly: "In this sociological study of "apostates," defined as religious people who later become atheists, Zuckerman, a professor of sociology at Pitzer College, interviews former adherents from a variety of religions-among them Muslims, Catholics, Jehovah's Witnesses-and examines their religious histories and motivations for rejecting belief. Though apostates are a steadily growing category of the American religious landscape, little research focuses on them and much of the public still mistrusts them. Zuckerman's solid research and insights make this book an important contribution to the field and a thoroughly fascinating read."
