Bell writes about his growing up in the 1930s -1950s in Norfolk, Virginia. He focuses on his slow religious journey from Baptist, to Muslim, to becoming a campaigning humanist who now urges all Christians who are Jesus worshippers (not Jesus followers) to stop such worship and adopt humanistic values as a way of life. Bell explains that “Jesus worshipping” is really idolatrous “white male worshipping” that (a) is self-oppressive, self-denigrating, and injurious to black people’s mental and emotional health, (b) promotes a sense of white superiority and racism in white people, and (c) prevents black and white people from viewing each other as equals In his autobiography, Bell explains that humanism is the only philosophy for living available to Americans that will psychologically allow white people to degrade and end white racism and psychologically allow black people to gain authentic self-respect.

“This book is my report card on myself. I could have done many things better if I had been so inclined. Perhaps during my next eighty years, Ill be more inclined. If I were a cheerleader, I would say, Hooray for my side! Why? Because my side represents the humanists side, a side that is struggling to eliminate or degrade institutional racism in America and my side will win this struggle. Christopher C. Bell Jr., EdD, aka Kwasi Ankoanna Asante”
