As religious fundamentalists capture all three branches of government and dismantle Jefferson's wall of separation, Biderman channels thirty-five years of collected provocations into a battle cry. Through combative exchanges between Saba (the author as grandfather-philosopher) and Pfoot, his gleefully contrarian critic, readers encounter devastating constitutional arguments alongside wickedly subversive humor. At once political manifesto and personal memoir, with irreverent photographs throughout, The Secularist’s Bible transforms scattered anxieties about fundamentalist overreach into unified resistance. The struggle is real, and the struggle is shared: for religious believers who cherish secular democracy and patriotic secularists alike, The Secularist's Bible is validation of what we’re losing and a riotous rallying cry to reclaim it.About the author:Stan Biderman is a serial creative and an accidental secular warrior. A University of Texas School of Law graduate, Biderman served as the counterculture business lawyer of Austin representing head shops, a gay bar, carneys, and a nascent single store called Whole Foods. Biderman was also CEO of BookPeople, the largest independent bookstore in Texas. Since the late 80s, Biderman has been a leader in the revitalization of the hippest street in Texas, South Congress. He is the author of two award-winning books: Everything Changes: A Spiritual Journey (Plain View Press) and Bullet Trains to Yaks: Glimpses into Art, Politics, and Culture in China and Tibet (Irony Press), co-authored with his wife Kathryn Minette. Biderman and his wife are avid art collectors of provocative and political art amassed from all over the globe and currently live in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He has two children who occasionally think he’s funny and five grandchildren who aren’t sure yet. They call him Saba.About the moderator:Isabella Skrypczak is an author, intuitive healer, and former HR professional in Big Tech whose work bridges the seen and unseen. Born to Polish immigrants and raised in Houston, Texas, she spent every summer with her grandmother in Poland. When her grandmother’s memoir gained national attention in Polish media, Iza felt called to translate it into English— an act of love, remembrance, and advocacy. As war returned to Eastern Europe, she recognized the urgency in sharing this history with the Western world. She lives in Austin, Texas, with her daughter, Kamila.By purchasing a book from BookPeople, you are not only supporting a local, independent business – you’re showing publishers that they should continue sending authors to BookPeople.Thank you for supporting Stan Biderman, Isabella Skrypczak, and your local independent bookstore! - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/austin/bookpeople-presents-stan-biderman-the-secularists-bible/100001995801926287 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Art, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 1 hour - Location: BookPeople - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Austin - **state**: TX - **country**: United States - **location**: BookPeople - **lat**: 30.271987 - **long**: -97.7530036 - **full address**: BookPeople, 603 North Lamar Boulevard, Austin, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: BookPeople Presents: Stan Biderman - The Secularist's Bible - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/2e681b4820a14e4721dacc6679c1e8e9b16d2d4315e38964c6396c21c287a252-rimg-w1200-h600-dc98e8f8-gmir.jpg?v=1785822956 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is BookPeople Presents: Stan Biderman - The Secularist's Bible being held? - **A:** BookPeople Presents: Stan Biderman - The Secularist's Bible takes place on Sat, 26 Sep, 2026 at 04:00 pm to Sat, 26 Sep, 2026 at 05:00 pm at BookPeople, 603 North Lamar Boulevard, Austin, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing BookPeople Presents: Stan Biderman - The Secularist's Bible? - **A:** BookPeople Presents: Stan Biderman - The Secularist's Bible is organized by BookPeople. - **Q**: What has been the experience of attendees at BookPeople's events? - **A:** Attendees have given BookPeople a rating of 5/5 based on reviews from early attendees on AllEvents.
