Showing titles in Atheism

Our species is angry on a deep level. We know something has been wrong for a long time. We are tired of being thrown the scraps. This is primal, guttural; the scream of an exhausted humanity who will not take no for an answer. Who refuse to be duped any longer. It is the voice of reason and the shout of change! This audiobook is a reminder of who we are in the natural world and a call to stand up and be proud to be human without the spiritual story.

The stunning popularity of the “New Atheist” movement - whose most famous spokesmen include Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and the late Christopher Hitchens - speaks to both the growing ranks of atheists and the widespread, vehement disdain for religion among many of them. In Faitheist, Chris Stedman tells his own story to challenge the orthodoxies of this movement and make a passionate argument that atheists should engage religious diversity respectfully.

How does one go from an atheist to a drug dealer, to a Rabbi? Growing up in New York City, Ira was an angry, disillusioned Orthodox Jew living with the hurt and shame of his parents' divorce.

يتجه كتاب "العقل المؤمن/ العقل الملحد" للكاتب عبد الله الغذامي نحو العقل في محاولة لقراءة حجج الملحدين ومقابلتهم بالمؤمنين من أوساطهم نفسها، فيتساءل أحد الفريقين عن الكون والوجود وما بعد الموت مجيبًا عنها، في حين يرفض الفريق الثاني اتكاءً على الحتمية العلمية كما في نظرية هوكينغ من أن الطبيعة خلقت نفسَها، متجاهلًا رؤيته هو في أنها لا تملك عقلًا؛ فكيف لقوة غير عاقلة أن تخلق قوة عاقلة!

This is a passionate but breezy polemic that seeks to expose the harmful nature of religious orthodoxy, whether it be Christian, Jewish, or Moslem, which it contrasts with polytheism, specifically Greek polytheism, altogether a more relaxed system. It is also a forceful plea for the use of reason in pursuit of the biggest questions that confront us. An Ordinary Man’s Letter to God is not an attack on faith, nor does it advocate for atheism. It argues passionately for the use of reason to establish a universal doctrine of tolerance, decency, common sense, and love.

En sann historia som går tillbaka till 1977 då en Ateist pojke blir tvingad att gå på söndags skola.

I was seven years old when I realized that I did not believe in God, or that at the very least, something was not right about the whole thing. Some of the things God said and did made no sense, and some of the things God did were just plain mean. Either God wasn't all powerful, or God was not good. Or, God wasn't there. I ultimately decided the latter was true. It was morality that made me atheist. My purpose is not to debate the existence of God. You either believe or you don't. This book is about values.

Friedrich Nietzsche's "The Antichrist" might be more aptly named "The Antichristian," for it is an unmitigated attack on Christianity that Nietzsche makes within the text instead of an exposition on evil or Satan as the title might suggest. In The Antichrist, Nietzsche presents a highly controversial view of Christianity as a damaging influence upon western civilization that must come to an end. Regardless of ones religious or philosophical point of view, The Antichrist makes for an engaging philosophical discourse.

Feminism and atheism are “dirty words” that Americans across the political spectrum love to debate - and hate. Throw them into a blender and you have a toxic brew that supposedly defies decency, respectability, and Americana. Putting gender at the center of the equation, progressive “Religious Nones” of color are spearheading an anti-racist, social justice humanism that disrupts the “colorblind” ethos of European American atheist and humanist agendas, which focus principally on church-state separation.

Based in the idea that social phenomena are best studied through the lens of different disciplinary perspectives, Empty Churches studies the growing number of individuals who no longer affiliate with a religious tradition.

Is it propaganda that America was founded on christian principles, a televangelist's misinterpretation of history?
