The Christian faith has been vigorously defended with a variety of philosophical, historical, and theological arguments, but many of the arguments that worked in an earlier age no longer resonate in today's educated West.

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

Written by Evan Sayet, longtime television writer ("Politically Incorrect w/Bill Maher) and political commentator who has advised presidential campaigns, written speeches for presidential candidates (and a president) and who has appeared on every television news network from MSNBC to Fox.

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.

In this deeply revealing and engaging autobiography, Herb Silverman tells his iconoclastic life story.

Religion was once the primary way to understand human behavior. This was certainly true when the book Alcoholics Anonymous was written in 1939. But, we have learned much over the past 80 years. Common Sense Recovery began as the journal of a long-standing member of AA, during a time in his life when he was struggling to reconcile the religious language of Alcoholics Anonymous with his new-found atheism and scientific understanding of addiction and the recovery process.

Do you know how fortunate you are to have the First Amendment to the Bill of Rights in our Constitution? Do you know what's in it? Do you know how we got it? Did you know it is under constant attack from motivated interests? Knowledge, knowing the real facts through source checking and critical thinking, is both power and comfort.

These non-Christians have increasingly been demanding their full participation in public life, bringing their arguments all the way to the Supreme Court.
