Philosophers without Gods by Louise Antony
Collectively, these essays highlight the richness of atheistic belief--not only as a valid alternative to religion, but as a profoundly fulfilling and moral way of life.
"This Atheists R Us compilation differs markedly in tone from Hitchens and DawkinsExcellent fare for Christian small groups whose members are genuinely interested in the arguments raised by atheists." -Christianity Today"Readable, personal, and provocative.... Contrary to the popular image, atheism isn't all rebellious trumpets and defiant drums.... Here we have all the varieties of unreligious experience, a full symphony of unbelief." -Free Inquiry"Compelling and sophisticated arguments that religious people ought to confront." -Tikkun 'The authors answer, forecefully and intelligently, the standard arguments against atheism.' -V.V. Raman, CHOICE 'This collection strikes me as an excellent example of how comprehensible philosophical writing can be at its best. By and large, the essays are written in a clear and direct style, free of philosophical jargon. Many who read it will find themselves also engaged at a level that is not merely academic.' -George I. Mavrodes, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews 'Taken as a group, these readable, personal, and provocative essays make it clear that there are many kinds of non-believers, and even many different elements that make up a single skeptical outlook. Contrary to the popular image, atheism isn't all rebellious trumpets and defiant drums. That part of the orchestra is essential, but here we have all the varieties of unreligious experience, a full symphony of unbelief.' - Free Inquiry
