    ok, but the atheists in question get very angry with people who assert that religion and religious beliefs can be different than the narrow range of religious beliefs those atheists are aware of and want to refute. In protestantism, strict fundamentalists are aware of progressive/modernist churches and consider them heretics but atheists raised by fundamentalists frequently assert online that progressive christianity/progressive churches don't exist. Dealing with this type of discussion can be exhausting.

    What do you think about Davi's quest and the groups she met along the way? Did you appreciate the political machinations and maneuvering?

    Humor and snark and sarcasm play a big role in this book. Did it work for you? Did you relate to or appreciate Davi's attitude?

    Warning: this post may contain spoilers

    This is the sixth Tildes Book Club Discussion for 2026 and the twenty-sixth overall. We are discussing How to Become the Dark Lord and Die Trying by Wexler.. At the end of July we will discuss A Psalm for the Wild Built by Chambers.

    I don't have a particular format in mind for this discussion, but I will post some prompts and questions as comments to get things started. You're not obligated to respond to them or vote on them though. So feel free to make your own top-level comment for whatever you wish to discuss, questions you have of others, or even just to post a review of the book you have written yourself.

    For latecomers, don't worry if you didn't read the book in time for this Discussion topic. You can always join in once you finish it. Tildes Activity sort, and "Collapse old comments" feature should keep the topic going for as long as people are still replying.

    And for anyone uninterested in this topic please use the Ignore Topic feature on this so it doesn't keep popping up in your Activity sort, since it's likely to keep doing that while I set this discussion up, and once people start joining in.
