The Atheist’s God is a profound exploration of Baruch Spinoza’s vision of God, religion, and reason. Rejecting the notion of an interventionist deity, Spinoza redefines divinity as Nature itself, eternal and immutable.

The book examines the separation of philosophy and theology, the defense of freedom of thought and democracy, and offers a radical critique of political and religious power. A provocative work that invites readers to rethink ...

A witty and devastating takedown of the "new" atheist position, Inside the Atheist Mind debunks the theories of Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, Sam Harris, and others, revealing how inconsistent, illogical, and frankly ludicrous their conclusions truly are. Poking fun at atheists in a clever and intelligent way, Anthony DeStefano demonstrates just how full of holes the new atheism is and reveals that it is actually a "religion" of its own, complete with a creed, a set of commandments, a rigid moral code, and rewards and punishments.

Women have made great strides toward equal rights over the past 100 years, especially in the West. But when considering the ongoing fight over reproductive rights and equal pay - and the prevalence of sexual violence and domestic abuse - it is clear that a significant gap still exists.

Infinity and God have been close bedfellows over the recent millennia of human thought. But this is James A. Lindsay's point. These two ideas are thought, mere concepts.

¿Cómo darle sentido a nuestra existencia sin un ser superior o un Dios que nos ordene? Vivimos una crisis que va desde las Iglesias hasta el surgimiento de una "fe" distinta a la que conocíamos: el "nuevo ateísmo", con divulgadores connotados como el biólogo Richard Dawkins. Y mientras predomina en Occidente el racionalismo científico a ultranza, el espacio para la reflexión sobre lo transcendente y la duda sobre Dios ocupan un lugar marginal en nuestra cultura. Ante esto, Joseph Ramos plantea la necesidad de retomar ese diálogo perdido, pero no desde la fe, que solo sirve al que la tiene, sino desde la razón.

From colonial times into the 20th century, our laws and court cases ignored atheism, assuming that all good Americans were religious. Only in the 20th century, with the passage of laws allowing for conscientious objection to war, did nonbelief enter debates about religious liberty. Still, today every one of the 20 states has God written into its constitution. God is everywhere in American public life. R. Laurence Moore and Isaac Kramnick explore both God's omnipresence and the dramatic rise in nonbelievers that has led to an "atheist awakening" intent on holding the country to its secular principles.

Despite their conclusions, folks like Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and Daniel Dennett are asking the right questions.

Open debate is exactly what we need on the topics of God, evolution, and creation.
