A meditation on the importance of atheism in the modern world - and its inadequacies and contradictions - by one of Britain's leading philosophers. 'When you explore older atheisms, you will find some of your firmest convictions - secular or religious - are highly questionable. If this prospect disturbs you, what you are looking for may be freedom from thought.' For a generation now, public debate has been corroded by a narrow derision of religion in the name of an often very vaguely understood 'science'.

Discover magazine recently called Richard Dawkins "Darwin's Rottweiler" for his fierce and effective defense of evolution. Prospect magazine voted him among the top three public intellectuals in the world (along with Umberto Eco and Noam Chomsky). Now Dawkins turns his considerable intellect on religion, denouncing its faulty logic and the suffering it causes.

What is human consciousness, and how is it possible? This question fascinates thinking people from poets and painters to physicists, psychologists, and philosophers. From Bacteria to Bach and Back is Daniel C. Dennett's brilliant answer, extending perspectives from his earlier work in surprising directions, exploring the deep interactions of evolution, brains, and human culture.

In 12 fiercely funny, mind-expanding chapters, Dawkins explains how the natural world arose without a designer - the improbability and beauty of the "bottom-up programming" that engineers an embryo or a flock of starlings - and challenges head-on some of the most basic assumptions made by the world’s religions: Do you believe in God? Which one? Is the Bible a "Good Book"? Is adhering to a religion necessary, or even likely, to make people good to one another? Outgrowing God is a concise, provocative guide to thinking for yourself.

Popular radio host and podcaster, Justin Brierley, has been creating and facilitating constructive conversations about faith for more than two decades. He is an expert in Christian apologetics and has had a ringside seat as believers and nonbelievers alike have debated Christianity. Surprisingly, Justin has come out on the other side of these debates more convinced than ever of the truth of Jesus’ claims―and the power of good conversations. With this book, you get to watch Justin as he engages with the most unlikely of conversation partners on the subject of faith.

In There Is a God, one of the world's preeminent atheists discloses how his commitment to "follow the argument wherever it leads" led him to a belief in God as Creator. This is a compelling and refreshingly open-minded argument that will forever change the atheism debate.

Should we believe in God? Do we need God in order to explain the existence of the universe? Do we need God in order to be good? In 12 chapters that address some of the most profound questions human beings confront, Dawkins marshals science, philosophy and comparative religion to interrogate the hypocrisies of all the religious systems and explain to listeners of all ages how life emerged without a Creator, how evolution works and how our world came into being.

Atheist? Believer? Uncertain? No matter: The Portable Atheist will engage you every step of the way. From the number one New York Times best-selling author of God Is Not Great, comes this provocative and entertaining guided tour of atheist and agnostic thought through the ages with original pieces by Salman Rushdie, Ian McEwan, and Ayaan Hirsi Ali.

In his first memoir, Richard Dawkins shares a rare view into his early life, his intellectual awakening at Oxford, and his path to writing The Selfish Gene. This is an intimate memoir of the childhood and intellectual development of the evolutionary biologist and world-famous atheist and how he came to write what is widely held to be one of the most important books of the 20th century.

"Hört mich! Denn ich bin der und der! Verwechselt mich vor allem nicht!"(Friedrich Nietzsche: Ecce Homo)Erst für spätere Generationen hat Nietzsche eine Offenheit, ein wirkliches Interesse und Verständnis erwartet: "Wie dürfte ich mich mit denen verwechseln, für welche heute schon Ohren wachsen", schrieb er und wir fragen: Ist es nun an der Zeit für ein solches Verstehen und bietet das Medium Hörbuch womöglich den Königsweg für das "Wachsen der Ohren", um das Denken Nietzsches mit all seinen fruchtbaren Widersprüchen für das Leben zu gewinnen?

Do "In God We Trust", the Declaration of Independence, and other historical "evidence" prove that America was founded on Judeo-Christian principles? Are the Ten Commandments the basis for American law? A constitutional attorney dives into the debate about religion's role in America's founding.

In the tradition of Bertrand Russell's Why I Am Not a Christian and Sam Harris' recent best-seller, The End of Faith, Christopher Hitchens makes the ultimate case against religion. With a close and erudite reading of the major religious texts, he documents the ways in which religion is a man-made wish, a cause of dangerous sexual repression, and a distortion of our origins in the cosmos.

ദൈവത്തിന്റെ ഉണ്മയെക്കുറിച്ചുള്ള വാദങ്ങളെ ഖണ്ഡിച്ചുകൊണ്ട് ഭൗതികലോകത്തിന്റെ ഉണ്മയെ ശാസ്ത്രീയമായി വിശദീകരിക്കുന്ന വിഖ്യാതമായ കൃതി ദി ഗോഡ് ഡെലൂഷനെ മുൻനിർത്തിയുള്ള പഠനമാണ് നാസ്തികനായ ദൈവം. ആൾദൈവങ്ങളും അന്ധവിശ്വാസങ്ങളും പെരുകുന്ന ഇക്കാലത്ത് ശാസ്ത്രീയാവബോധത്തിലൂടെ അവയെ നേരിടാൻ ലോകത്തെ പ്രാപ്തമാക്കുന്ന തരത്തിൽ വിശകലനം നടത്തി പഠനം തയ്യാറാക്കിയത് രവിചന്ദ്രൻ സിയാണ്.

For thousands of years, the faithful have honed proselytizing strategies and talked people into believing the truth of one holy book or another. Indeed, the faithful often view converting others as an obligation of their faith - and are trained from an early age to spread their unique brand of religion. The result is a world broken in large part by unquestioned faith. As an urgently needed counter to this tried-and-true tradition of religious evangelism, this audiobook offers the first-ever guide not for talking people into faith - but for talking them out of it.

In the depths of modern life, humanity’s quest for understanding and purpose continues as we gaze at the cosmos, pondering our place within it. In this search for truth, a new scripture emerges, bridging science and spirituality to offer profound insights and guidance. This modern-day Holy Bible explores the interconnectedness of human existence, space, infinite universes, and dimensions. It reveals how ancient spiritual wisdom aligns with cutting-edge scientific discoveries, guiding listeners to uncover the secrets of the universe and the purpose of their souls.

Peut-on encore croire en Dieu ? Une introduction à l'athéisme moderne. Pendant longtemps, Dieu a été l'explication à tous les phénomènes étranges qui nous entourent. Après tout, comment expliquer les merveilles et la complexité de la nature sans imagine un créateur pour tout orchestrer ? Mais plus la science progresse, plus elle apporte de réponses tangibles à ces phénomènes autrefois attribués à Dieu. Ce sont la théorie de l'évolution et la génétique qui ont en tout cas convaincu Richard Dawkins, quand il avait 15 ans, d'arrêter de croire en Dieu.

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.
