Black Nonbeliever Next Door: An X-Pastor’s Journey, Volume 1 by Darante’ LaMar

What does it mean to question the very beliefs that shaped your identity? Black Nonbelievers Next Door dives into the deeply personal story of a Black man’s journey from the heart of faith to a life defined by self-discovery, honesty, and the courage to live authentically. This is not a manifesto against religion, nor is it a story of sudden enlightenment. Instead, it is a slow, thoughtful unraveling of the inherited beliefs that once defined him, leading to a newfound understanding of self, family, and community.

With a blend of introspective storytelling and cultural insight, Black Nonbelievers Next Door opens a dialogue on deconversion, the search for meaning, and the complex relationship between faith and identity in Black communities. Whether you are a believer, a skeptic, or somewhere in between, this book invites you to join a journey toward understanding, acceptance, and the freedom to question.
