Life and Work of an Atheist Pioneer

Author Christos Tzanetakos adheres to the profound statement of Emile Zola: Civilization will thrive when the last stone from the last church falls on the last priest. This memoir narrates the stories of Tzanetakos lifelong adventures and presents his thoughts, philosophy, and work regarding atheism. Augmented with photos, The Life and Work of an Atheist Pioneer tells of Tzanetakoss childhood, growing up in Greece with his parents and four siblings, and of the seafaring career that took him around the world for ten years before finally settling in Miami, Florida, in 1969. Here he built his business, married, and started a family with his wife, Alice; he also immersed himself in activism for various social issues. The Life and Work of an Atheist Pioneer includes interesting and descriptive details from his life, but also discusses how he became a champion in the cause of the separation of church and state and the advancement of atheism.
