Atheism and Religious Disbelief in Children's Fiction (26 books)

Atheism and Religious Disbelief in Children's Fiction

While there are thousands of children's books with characters who believe in a deity and attend religious services, there are relatively few children's books in which characters express doubt about the concept of deities or the veracity of religion. This list focuses on books published for children (under the age of 13) in which atheism and religious disbelief are portrayed in a positive manner.

Please do not add fantasy, science fiction, self-published, digital, or YA books to this list.
