Titres dans Athéisme

Fun, funny, blasphemous, easy to understand but hard to refute: GOD DOES NOT EXIST BUT, IF HE DOES, HE’S NOT GOOD, AND ANYWAY, A GOOD GOD WOULD NOT WRITE YOUR BIBLE OR ENDORSE YOUR RELIGION is a comprehensive look at all the ways in which it is possible to deny the existence of God, and what it means for someone to say that they're an atheist.

Richard A. Conn, Jr. demonstrates why all parents who value science and reason can help stop the centuries-old practice of religious indoctrination and offers advice on how to encourage children to discover the world and their place in it for themselves. Only by teaching them that we are in this world together and have a limited time to live can we truly enable them to flourish and build a peaceful world - not just for their generation but for the future.

So you're an atheist. Now what? The way we deal with life - with love and sex, pleasure and death, reality and making stuff up - can change dramatically when we stop believing in gods, souls, and afterlives. When we leave religion - or if we never had it in the first place - where do we go? With her unique blend of compassion and humor, thoughtfulness and snark, Greta Christina most emphatically does not propose a single path to a good atheist life. She offers questions to think about, ideas that may be useful, and encouragement to choose your own way.

Joe Armstrong spent nine years studying for the Catholic priesthood. He no longer believes in God. This is his acclaimed, searingly honest coming-of-age memoir of his nine years in the Marist Fathers seminary in 1980s Dublin, Ireland. This is a rare authentic insight into the true lives of celibate seminarians and priests. It is also of interest to those struggling with co-dependency, giving a frank portrayal of a complex relationship with a dysfunctional mother. It is also a fascinating portrayal of an experience with counseling, and how it can help us to break destructive patterns...

Auch wenn es uns nicht immer gleich auffällt: Unser Alltag ist durchdrungen von Religion. Vom Kirchengeläut bis zum Kopftuch der Kindergärtnerin, das Religiöse behelligt auch die, die nicht an Gott glauben. Dabei sind sich heute die meisten Deutschen einig: Religion ist vor allem Privatsache. Philipp Möller zeigt, wie man sich mit Religion kritisch auseinandersetzen kann, ohne dass es mit Islamophobie zu tun hat.

Tackling a host of myths and prejudices commonly leveled at atheism, this captivating audiobook bursts with sparkling, eloquent arguments. The authors rebut claims that range from atheism being just another religion to the alleged atrocities committed in its name.

Why are atheists angry? Is it because they're selfish, joyless, lacking in meaning, and alienated from God? Or is it because they have legitimate reasons to be angry - and are ready to do something about it? Armed with passionate outrage, absurdist humor, and calm intelligence, popular blogger Greta Christina makes a powerful case for outspoken atheist activism, and explains the empathy and justice that drive it. This accessible, personal, down-to-earth book speaks not only to atheists, but also to believers who want to understand the so-called new atheism.

I Sold My Soul on eBay tells the story of how and why Hemant Mehta, the nonbeliever who auctioned off the opportunity to send him to church, became an atheist and went on to attend a wide variety of church services.

Making the provocative assertion that the entire enterprise of organized religion is a thing for which the world and our species would have been better without, Oh, Your God! follows in the footsteps of the material observations of Lucretius, Epicurus, and Democritus, and the more recent anti-theistic arguments of Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins. Drawing from timeless philosophers, modern debates, historical events, and current social climes, Joshua Kelly illustrates the shameful and debilitating damage religion has caused....

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. As a young adult, he wanted nothing to do with God or religion. Trying to find himself and his path in life, Ira pushed back on his father's beliefs and dropped out of college in Wisconsin and headed to Colorado where he earned a living in the "pharmaceutical business."

What does an overweight, 69 year old man do, when confronted with a challenge to his comfortable, retired, gentle ‘sailing into the setting-sun’ lifestyle? He picks up his bag and goes for a walk. A 800 kilometre walk across the north of Spain, from St. Jean Pied de Port in the French Pyrenees to Santiago de Compostela in Galicia. The Camino Frances. This isn’t a travelogue or a guide. It’s the story of a long forgotten youthful dream that refused to die. There’s no seeking of answers, no seeking of self or God.

Nothing is new or original in Christianity. That is the important thesis demonstrated in Christianity Before Christ. The least important features, as well as the most important components, were all well developed in cultures that flourished before the time that Christ is alleged to have walked the parched paths of Roman Palestine.

In a world increasingly shaped by secularism, Understanding Atheism: The Rejection of God, Faith & Religion offers a compelling, balanced, and deeply thoughtful exploration into one of the most significant worldview shifts of our time.

This Will Make an Atheist Shit Their Pants is not your average spiritual book. It's short, it's sharp, and it doesn't waste your time. It won't try to convert you. It won't ask you to believe anything. It just lays the cards on the table and lets the chips fall where they may. It's part comedy, part cosmic wake-up call, and all JJ. This book is for anyone who's ever looked up at the sky and thought, "Wait... is this all there is?" It's for the ones who know there's something more but don't quite have the words for it yet. Spoiler Alert: You're not crazy. You're just waking up.

Theism or Atheism, published in 1921, examines not only arguments for and against the existence of God, but also the practical usefulness of such a concept. The author writes, “Atheism would mean in practice an enormous concentration of energy upon purely human affairs, and a judgment of conduct in terms of human happiness and prosperity.”

The United States is in the midst of a religious revolution. Or, perhaps it is better to say a non-religious revolution. Around a quarter of US adults now say they have no religion. The great majority of these religious "nones" also say that they used to belong to a religion but no longer do. These are the nonverts: think "converts," but from having religion to having none. There are currently about fifty-nine million of them in the United States.

L'idée que la religion appartient au Moyen-Âge, un temps où l'on pouvait croire tout et n'importe quoi, reste populaire. Au cours des siècles, différents courants ont contribué à créer un climat hostile à l'idée de Dieu. C'est pourquoi, beaucoup tentent de rompre avec la religion traditionnelle, en explorant d'autres voies.

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.

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.

A priest and a dying atheist engage in a final dialogue. Reason vs. faith, and in the end...
