Infinity and God have been close bedfellows over the recent millennia of human thought. But this is James A. Lindsay's point. These two ideas are thought, mere concepts. Lindsay shows in a concise and readable manner that infinity is an abstraction, and shows that, in all likelihood, so is God, particularly if he has infinite properties.

Throughout human history religions have been a staggeringly powerful force in the hearts and minds of their adherents and in society as a whole. They have moved men and women to inspiring acts of bravery and spurred the creation of some of the most sublime works of art, and arguably have been pivotal in the creation of stable societies and the social order we see today. At the same time, though, they have also been responsible for some of the most heinous atrocities ever committed.

Atheists may be among the fastest growing "religious" demographics in the world, but they are also perhaps the most misunderstood. To begin, atheists have no identifying marks, no defining habits, no obvious symbols, for all that unites them, essentially, is an absence of belief. As a result, many religious believers may not even realize they know atheists, whether as neighbors, friends, or coworkers. In addition, most major religions warn against the faithless and preach distrust of nonbelievers.

Are you interested in preserving the constitutional principle of church-state separation? Do you think a secular system is the only way to ensure freedom of religion and conscience for all? Do you want creationism out of classrooms, religious dogma out of health care, sectarian prayers out of government meetings, and taxpayer funding out of "faith-based" initiatives and programs that promote religious indoctrination? Think there's not much you can do about it? If so, as secular writer and activist Dan Arel demonstrates in word and deed, think again.

I "EFTERTRO" fortæller ni mennesker med en fortid i Jehovas Vidner, Mormonkirken, Scientology, Pinsekirken og islam om deres liv i troen og rejsen ud på den anden side. Deres personlige beretninger giver læseren et indblik i, hvad det vil sige at leve i troen, hvordan man mister den, og hvilke konsekvenser det kan have at forlade den. Ela fik banket koranvers ind i hovedet som barn. Simon frygtede dommedag, som kunne komme når som helst.

Über Gott reden ja viele, wenngleich die meisten nur glauben, etwas über den Allmächtigen zu wissen. Und die, die etwas zu wissen glauben, Religionswissenschaftler, behaupten, Naturwissenschaftler könnten über Gott sowieso nichts sagen. Die drei Autoren dieses Hörbuchs treten den Gegenbeweis an: der Astrophysiker Harald Lesch, der an der Hochschule der Jesuiten Philosophie unterrichtet, der Psychiater Manfred Spitzer, dem Wahnvorstellungen nicht fremd sind, und der Intellektuellste unter den Kabarettisten, Günther "Gunkl" Paal.

Après avoir secoué un certain nombre de nos croyances depuis la parution de son best-seller "Demandez et vous recevrez", Pierre Morency s'attaque ici de plein fouet aux fondements des écrits religieux et à la relation des humains avec le Père. Son postulat ? Dieu est content lorsque nous sommes gros, pauvres, malades et misérables. Il ne veut pas que nous trouvions le paradis terrestre. Pas pour rien qu'il a créé les comptables, les REER, les mises de côté, les religions, les codes d'éthique.

Oui ! On peut être heureux sans dieu ni religion ! Avec des arguments implacables, l'auteur récuse les accusations faites à l'athéisme, rendu responsable du désenchantement de l'homme et du monde. Ne pas croire en une vie dans l'au-delà ne vide pas pour autant notre existence de sens, mais nous engage au contraire à profiter au maximum de ses joies et de ses beautés, dans une plus grande liberté d'esprit.

Mikhail Bakunin (1814-1876) was a Russian revolutionary anarchist and is considered one of the most influential figures of anarchism. Bakunin’s God and the State, an unfinished manuscript published posthumously in 1882, is a classic and influential atheist text which sets out the anarchist critique of religion as bound up in legitimising the state.

With historical adherents as various as Mark Twain, Einstein, Freud, Philip Pullman, and Frank Zappa, Humanism’s central quest is to live with meaning with no need for the supernatural. Showing how humanists make sense of the world using reason, experience, and sensitivity, Cave emphasises that we can, and should, flourish without God. Lively, provocative, and refreshingly rant-free, this audiobook is essential listening for all - whether atheist, agnostic, believer, or of no view - who wish better to understand what it means to be human.

Incorporating his own thoughts along with those of noted academics, philosophers, and theologians, Loftus is able to properly define "miracle" and then show why there's no reason to believe such a thing even exists. 

 Speak of the Devil is the first book-length study of The Satanic Temple. Joseph Laycock, a scholar of new religious movements, contends that the emergence of "political Satanism" marks a significant moment in American religious history that will have a lasting impact on how Americans frame debates about religious freedom. 

From colonial times into the 20th century, our laws and court cases ignored atheism, assuming that all good Americans were religious. Only in the 20th century, with the passage of laws allowing for conscientious objection to war, did nonbelief enter debates about religious liberty. Still, today every one of the 20 states has God written into its constitution. God is everywhere in American public life. R. Laurence Moore and Isaac Kramnick explore both God's omnipresence and the dramatic rise in nonbelievers that has led to an "atheist awakening" intent on holding the country to its secular principles.

Atheism is often considered to be a negative, dark, and pessimistic belief which is characterized by a rejection of values and purpose and a fierce opposition to religion. Atheism: A Very Short Introduction sets out to dispel the myths that surround atheism and show how a life without religious belief can be positive, meaningful, and moral. It also confronts the failure of officially atheist states in the 20th century. The book presents an intellectual case for atheism that rests as much upon positive arguments for its truth as on negative arguments against religion. 

Have you ever wondered what’s “new” about New Atheism? Coined in 2006, the term New Atheism has been used to describe the shared sentiments of prominent 21st-century atheists - perhaps most notably the “Four Horsemen” and talk-show host Bill Maher. In popular perception, the term has also garnered a negative connotation - implying hostility towards religion at large. Now, in this series of 14 one-on-one interviews, you have the rare opportunity to listen in on conversations with some of the leading actors in New Atheism.

For much of Western history, belief in God seemed universal. As society has grown more secular, however, people have increasingly expressed disbelief in God. Today, a quarter of Americans are religiously unaffiliated, with many identifying as atheists. As the number of atheists has grown, so too have debates around the legitimacy of religion. Too often, these debates have been marked by misunderstanding on both sides.
