What drives us to be good? How do we even know how to be good? Philosophers and theologians have dealt with such questions for millennia, but Dan Barker thinks the answers are not so complicated. In Mere Morality, he argues there's no need to appeal to supernatural commandments or the fear of some higher power when considering morality. Stripping “good" and "evil” down to the basics, he offers a simple compass for navigating life's most difficult moral and ethical dilemmas.

Does the Creator of the Universe resemble the anthropomorphic description of God as depicted by the main religions? And does such a supreme being really care about the fate of mankind? If life senselessly ends at death, what purpose does a human strive for during his brief passage on Earth? Shouldn’t he strive to contribute to mankind’s collective well-being, and incidentally his own, rather than dogmatically obeying commands from a bygone era? In short, is it possible to be both realistic and happy? And what is true happiness beyond what religion or capitalism tries to sell us? With ...

Even for the most ardent skeptic, it's hard not to be curious about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Maybe you've seen the hit musical comedy The Book of Mormon. Maybe you've heard about Holocaust victims and deceased celebrities like Elvis being posthumously baptized in Mormon churches. Or maybe you've come across some other belief or facet of the Mormon faith and can't help but wonder whether the religion is actually as wild as it seems.

If you are in the process of leaving your faith or have completed the process and are looking back at your exit, this book is designed for you. For most committed believers who decide to walk away from their faith, leaving is neither simple nor easy. It’s something you do, but also something that happens to you — which means you may not always feel in control. And it’s not something that happens overnight. The process may be measured in years. One reason for the complexity and time required is that it’s not just about leaving. There’s also the work of rebuilding as you decide how ...

Peut-on encore croire en Dieu ? Une introduction à l'athéisme moderne. Pendant longtemps, Dieu a été l'explication à tous les phénomènes étranges qui nous entourent. Après tout, comment expliquer les merveilles et la complexité de la nature sans imagine un créateur pour tout orchestrer ? Mais plus la science progresse, plus elle apporte de réponses tangibles à ces phénomènes autrefois attribués à Dieu. Ce sont la théorie de l'évolution et la génétique qui ont en tout cas convaincu Richard Dawkins, quand il avait 15 ans, d'arrêter de croire en Dieu.

'It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.' - Aristotle The book aspires to go beyond the 'your God - my God', 'God - No God' debates and tries to analyze the motives of the entity that created us.

Atheism Destroys focuses on how godlessness destroys our most treasured institutions and values: free speech, family, relationships, and even courage. Lurie shows how godlessness has been the primary destroyer of many of our liberties. He also shows how godlessness is the root of and primary force enabling drug cartels, the mafia, sex trafficking, and psychopaths. With insight, stories, and humor, Lurie treats atheism as a destructive force in and of itself—one that we dare not tread lightly and which we must resist like any other enemy at the gate.

We know what people who believe in God believe; but do we know what the atheists believe in God's stead?

Whether part of polytheistic or monotheistic systems, the concept of God is one of humanity’s oldest attempts to explain the mysteries of life. Today, however, the idea of God feels increasingly foreign, gradually fading from the consciousness of many. The gap between humans and the divine seems to grow wider, and religion appears increasingly out of place in a world dominated by scientific culture, which directs our attention to the physical, material world. In philosophy, the question of God’s existence is a central metaphysical issue—arguably, the metaphysical issue par excellence....

In this bold and hopeful book, theologian Daniel C. Maguire writes that traditional, supernatural aspects of Christianity can be comforting but are increasingly questionable. A century of scholarly research has not been supportive of the dogmatic triad of personal god, incarnate savior, and life after death. Demonstrating that these beliefs have questionable roots in historical traditions, Maguire argues for a return to that brilliant and revolutionary moral epic of the Hebrew and Christian Bible.
