    "For those of us who have been non-believers of one sort or another for a long time, and have been able to discuss the whole range of issues, with many others, and over many years, and in this long process refined and confirmed our views, having to go over the same old discussions again and again can become a problem.
    Newcomers to unbelief want to discuss these issues from a standing start and it is important that there is an ongoing process for them to make up ground easily, so that there is not always a yawing gap with irritation at both extremes.
    These suggestions are in two parts, the first, specific material that would help 'novice unbelievers' catch up quickly without having to go through a near lifetime of reading and discussion. The second part would be a longer list of recommended material.
