Story
A bible for atheists is about how to be a good human if one doesn't believe in gods or God. It states positively what many atheists believe. In this improved second edition, it puts forth a system of belief based on reason and science and common sense into a coherent structure, starting from basic principles, to answer the big questions about our human origins, the puzzle of fate and free will, ethics, how to manage the emotions, why some binds bring new capabilities, friendship, love and mating, the nature of beauty, constructive thinking, rights and freedom and liberty, and more.

Story
The self-evident existence of reason, logic, and intelligibility are strong evidence for God. Reason is a human faculty that defines humanness and points to a rational universe. This in turn points to the principle of reason, or the "Logos" developed by Heraclitus and other Greek philosophers, and later by the Apostle John (1:1). Reason and its corollaries emerge like aspects of language and complement each other, like speaking and listening. Indeed, mutual communication works because of reciprocity, which is a root form of intelligibility.

We normally don’t have any time, but when we finally do, we lack energy. On those rare occasions when we have energy outside of work, it is restless and difficult to harness towards meaningful goals. Starting from the realization that meaningful time is worthless without energy, the concept of “timenergy” points to something we all lack: large energy-infused blocks of repeatable time throughout the week.

The current discussion among liberals in America is that democracy is at stake if Donald J. Trump Sr. wins the American presidency in 2024. But the almost unexamined question is whether America was ever a democracy. This book examines the common definition of the word "democracy" and argues that it is a meaningless word, and does not describe the political reality in America.

It has inspired people from John F Kennedy to The Beatles and became the '60s Bible of counterculture – all because of the timeless truths it shared. Each poem takes a different theme – pleasure, beauty, freedom, joy and sorrow – as the fictional Al Mustapha shares his thoughts and experiences as he prepares to travel back to his island home.

What does it mean to say that we live in a secular age? Almost everyone would agree that we - in the West, at least - largely do. And clearly the place of religion in our societies has changed profoundly in the last few centuries. In what will be a defining book for our time, Charles Taylor takes up the question of what these changes mean - of what, precisely, happens when a society in which it is virtually impossible not to believe in God becomes one in which faith, even for the staunchest believer, is only one human possibility among others.

Now updated with a new afterword, The End of History and the Last Man is a modern classic.
